Mantas Leonardo Lizzi – accordion (Lithuania)
Inner Journey is an immersive performance project for accordion and electronics that explores different states of the human condition through sound, space, and presence. Rather than following the format of a traditional concert, the performance takes place in a shared environment where there is no clear separation between performer and audience. The audience is invited to experience the music from within the space – moving freely, sitting or lying down, and listening from different perspectives. The accordion is not presented as a virtuosic solo instrument, but as part of a wider sonic and physical landscape shaped by electronics, light, and proximity.
The performance unfolds through four chapters, each reflecting a distinct emotional state: Where Order Breaks, Echoes of Time, The Quiet Struggle, and Unconditional Love. These chapters are connected through short improvisational passages that allow the music to breathe and the journey to unfold organically.
Inner Journey is not intended to instruct or explain, but to open a space for listening, reflection, and shared presence. Each audience member is free to experience the work in their own way, allowing personal thoughts, memories, and sensations to emerge naturally.
