Echoing the Ghosts teaser show
The Literatti present a prelude of Echoing The Ghosts, taking the Ghosts Project on the road and into the North.
Join us for an afternoon of spoken word poetry written to and performed with music on Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts I & II albums. Over 6 months of workshopping the group has written 18 poems that confront characters from history, making 'the ghosts of the modern age' dance to the music that has evolved out of it.
1 pm @ Salute Bar, Bank St, Whangarei
Member Profile
LiterattiAuckland based performance poetry troupe The Literatti have been presenting their genre defying fusion of spoken word, music, performance, visual art and elements of theatre since 2006. Formed in late 2005 after founder Shane Hollands was inspired by the Def Jam Poets, the group has evolved a collaborative approach, combining multiple voices in an almost symphonic display of contemporary word play and working with numerous other performers, musicians, visual artists and the odd animator or two. Their aim is always to personify poetry, transforming each poem into something that lives, breathes, sounds and behaves. The group then set it to musical soundscapes that range from rock and electronica through to jazz, blues and reggae. Poetry as never seen before!
