Kid Yugi - Genesis and Rise of an Anti-Idol
FROM THE SHADOWS TO WORSHIP, WITHOUT EVER SEEKING THE LIGHT.
Genesis and Rise of an Anti-Idol traces Kid Yugi's journey from his origins in the provinces to his success on the Italian rap scene, exploring the construction of an artistic identity based on the rejection of exposure and the role of idol. Through images, archival material, and personal reflections, the documentary recounts the birth of a dark and literary imagination, the centrality of writing as a form of survival, and the conflictual relationship with success. What emerges is the portrait of an artist who transforms isolation into language and rise to fame into an act of resistance, maintaining a conscious distance from the public and the logic of the industry.
