Jan Martens / GRIP: VOICE NOISE

In the organizer's words:

German premiere

VOICE NOISE gives the impression of being part of a much longer event, where dancers and voices come and go, in an endless unfolding of hidden or forgotten musical treasures. Inspired by The Gender of Sound, an essay by Anne Carson (1995), Martens creates an eclectic mix of a hundred years of female read voices in music history: singing, humming, soothing, screaming, whispering. In this essay, Carson recounts how female voices have been muted, considered superfluous or even disruptive noise.
VOICE NOISE is a happening, a shared event for audience and performers. The theater becomes an undefined open space in which watching and listening are treated as equals.
