Laudomia is the 46th city in Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities.

Laudomia is described as a city that exists in three layers:

1. The living city, where people go about their daily lives.

2. The city of the dead, the cemetery that mirrors the city of the living.

3. The city of the unborn, the imagined city that future generations will build.

Calvino writes that every city has another city within it—Laudomia makes this explicit by showing how a city is always layered with its past (the dead) and its future (the unborn).

This piece is part of an evening length multimedia show by Noise Catalogue.
