We heard the Mediterranean Cicada orni in six locations across Slovakia. Could this be the sound of the climate crisis? We invite you to cultivate sonic sensitivity, to delight in the subtleties of sound, and to listen to the Loud New World.
Elia Moretti SK

Elia Moretti (1986) is a composer, performer, and researcher exploring the performativity of sound and listening as critical tools within contemporary music theatre. In his interdisciplinary practice, he creates site-specific and participatory projects that intertwine sound, movement, and objects.
In Slovakia, he has worked as curator of the Carpathian New Wave series in Prešov and co-initiated the Symposium Musicum project for the UM UM festival in northern Spiš – later released by the independent label mappa.
His work moves between radio, theatre, and dance, with projects presented throughout Europe. As an educator, he focuses on listening as a relational and transformative act that transcends the boundaries of music.


site-specific performance

We Want Everything

We Want Everything (Chceme všetko) is a performance created specifically for the building of the former Baťa factory in Partizánske, as part of the sound event series úúú.
It reflects on the dignity of labour and the bonds we form with the objects that shape our lives. Some of these objects are new – designed to guide perception and action through their material qualities; others emerge directly from the site, no longer anonymous or invisible, but carrying the weight of shared histories and collective memory.
Both types of objects invite careful handling, listening, and awareness of how they co-create the world around us. We Want Everything approaches sound as a relational object with its own agency. It asks how listening – and the responsibility it entails – might restore attention and value to the materials, gestures, and labour that sustain society.

The úúú series is part of the project Power of Sound, which is included in Trenčín 2026. Trenčín 2026 is financially supported by the City of Trenčín, the Trenčín Self-Governing Region, and the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. In partnership with the European Union.
