YOUARENOWHERE can be read as both “You are now here” and “You are nowhere.” American multimedia artist and performer Andrew Schneider has traveled all over the world with this loud “shirtless one-man show.” The show premiered in New York in 2015, after which it has been presented in France, Slovenia, and Australia, and enjoyed great success in London… 

Schneider’s piece is a multimedia performance, and yet it is no cold existential meditation. Instead, it is sharp as a blade, using aspects of physical lecture and pop culture, all the while promising personal insight. His use of sound effects results in total overload, transporting you into a completely different world where you might learn why you are living here and now.

YOUARENOWHERE was created at the New York’s legendary Performance Space 122 (PS 122), and earned Schneider a prestigious Obie Award.
