On May 14, 1994, Radiohead, buoyed by the success of the single Creep, arrived in Ponderano, in the province of Biella, to open the programming of Babylonia, a club inside an anonymous shed, far from the big live music circuits. All that remains of that show is a poster that, cyclically, appears as a post on Facebook. That image triggers, in those who frequented the club, a series of strong feelings. The "Baby," as it was called, was of paramount importance to so many provincial kids: a place where they could find kindred souls, where they could feel less isolated from the rest of the world. Back to Babylonia aims to recount, 18 years after its closure, the importance and complexity of that experience by broadening the analysis to a historical period, the 1990s, which marked a major generational shift. Accompanying us on this journey are the direct testimonies of those who lived through that period, mixing the voices of artists, technicians and spectators.
