Amore e Morte

Blood. Tears. Wine. Discovery. Shock. Escape. Terror. New horizons. Hope. Loss.

This is the story of Amore e Morte, a tale told in song originally composed and performed by instrumentalist Riccardo Barone (Italy). Performed by South Australian vocalist and actor, Nikki Elli Souvertjis. A tale of love and hardship, a deep bond broken by unperceived circumstance.

He is witness to an unfortunate crime, a brutal murder. Both flee their home land to seek refuge in a foreign place. They find peace for a time. But the haunting ghost of witness is still upon them. He is called back to his country and demanded to give trial, he fears the consequences of his testimony. A writer and an editor, she records his tale in pursuit of writing a prolific expose.

A migrant story...one of love and loss.
