Now Here | Nowhere

A cross-artistic project that amalgamates sounds, spoken word and visuals, centring around the common terrain of the human and natural world, memory, time, love and lie/truth cycles.

Now Here | Nowhere is a spoken word and music performance that takes on the shape of a personal journey, performed by three artists, three separate worlds that open up to each other to create emotional and artistic overlaps that centre around the common terrain of the human and natural world, memory, time, love and lie/truth cycles. 

The project is a product of reflections and resonances that stem and vibrate from the words of poet Giulia Privitelli.

 

Renzo Spiteri, the project’s creative director, placed himself in between the poet’s poignant, powerful words and his personal interpretation of being lost in a ‘homeland’ that is no longer recognisable. Giulia writes that ‘words collide and break into letters, lines and dots, grains that ebb away’. So, beyond words, what are we left with? Through Now Here | Nowhere, Renzo sought to create a sonic world of spoken words and sounds to draw imagined places that exist in between light and darkness, in between life and death, in between hope and fear, in between sea and land.

Audience Feedback

“A huge well done once again to everyone... the performance was beautiful, touching and so inspiring.”

"A performance from the heart of the Earth.
Thanks to you all for the special moments put together so beautifully."

"I saw your concert yesterday or I should rather say I experienced it. I just want to thank you for it. It was amazing! As a dancer and choreographer automatically I imagine movement to your piece and I am absolutely inspired by your work."

“Experiencing you play has always been like watching an alchemist do his magic.”

“Renzo with your experience and sensitivity I believe that your work can surely capture any one and take them into deeper realms; it took me to similar places yesterday but on a lighter level ... but still managed to capture me and show me certain truths and realities ... good or bad that is not the matter.”
