A presence out of place, “always in the wrong place,” as Edward Said put it, belonging neither to the origin nor to the destination. This state of being a-topos, according to Abdelmalek Sayad, is one of the recurring features of the migratory experience, shaping a perception of oneself in a “double absence” between the homeland and the place of arrival: uprooted from the *bled*, and accompanied by the feeling of being neither here nor elsewhere. “Where we are, we are not ourselves; where we were, we no longer exist, trapped between two languages, two cultures, past and future, searching for an identity space that is both present and other, constantly oscillating between these two poles.” In Tunisian Arabic, *barrani* refers to the stranger, literally “the one who comes from outside (el barra),” the one who has undertaken the journey to Europe. This research work is dedicated to the generation of the diaspora, non-native European citizens—an individual and collective questioning of departure and arrival, desire and its limits, the "here" to be built and the "there" as memory, a nostalgic present, and a future imagined as a return to the past. Through a sound production system built on reverberations and echoes, *Barrani* is a performance-concert where dance, poetic word, and multimedia allow for a new narrative of the self, between present, past, and future, in a third, in-between space—situated between the two poles of the journey and existing only in the time of the performance: the space of storytelling.

The #Italian #people have always been known throughout the world for their "art of making do". This is a #positive fact because in this way Italy has a very precise and defined #role. This ability is synonymous with having a "#creative #mind" and it is no coincidence that Italy is appreciated throughout the world every time it expresses itself #artistically. Foreigners love this characteristic and certainly come to our country to #immerse themselves in this way of being at least for a few days. SO Let's continue to be #creative Italians, let’s show foreign tourists all the #art forms in which we excel. Let’s #express #emotions, let's bring this way of being to #hospitality, #cuisine and #fashion, so that they can feel #embraced and #welcomed. BUT we can also be #organized and #efficient. We can think about the smallest details that make a proposal #accurate and #unique. We can use #excellent and #qualified elements to build a #proposal. We can use our #culture to deliver culture through unique and #engaging #experiences. Creativity can meet efficiency.
