Celebrate Life: Viva La Vida by Namaya
12 November 2024 at 7 PM
Studio@620, a leading catalyst of performance and visual arts in St. Petersburg, is pleased to present Namaya, an internationally renowned storyteller and performance poet who has performed on five continents.
The Celebrate Life show is stories, music, and improvisation like the story of Stagolee, the first mojo man of love; The Flying Finn – a half-naked Vermont dairy farmer sailing down the mountain in a blizzard; or the tales of Benny O Shea from the Jazz Beat Detective Agency, and ballads like “Gypsies of Old” and stories of traveling the globe. Samples of performances can be found at the Sample of Celebrate Life show.
Comments on performances:
“Namaya, one of the most amazing storytellers I know. Namaya’s a force of nature on stage! He’s got this incredible energy, this way of grabbing you and pulling you into the story with him. It’s like he’s a true senache, an ancient Irish storyteller, weaving his spells and transporting you with every word. His stories are wild, too – from his roots in Palestine to adventures in NYC, Vermont, and all over the globe. Namaya’s a one-of-a-kind storyteller, poet, and gifted musician who has a knack for grabbing your heart and attention and taking you on a journey. Jim Kissane, Executive Director – Suncoast Storytellers
Join us on Tuesday, November 12th, 2024, at 7 PM at Studio 620 for an evening of Namaya, one of the most innovative stories and improvisations with the high-wire performance artist of the spoken word.
