Use of Plastic May Cause Suffocation
An excerpt from PLASTIC BODIES
An Opera about Opera
How does an industry so obsessed with the voice leave its performers without one?
This work invites its audience to be both participant and voyeur, shining a blacklight on hidden abuse in the opera industry. Darkly funny yet brutally familiar, this multimedia work uses voice, film, electronics and verbatim text to look at intimacy, ‘femininity’ and power, giving a voice to experiences within an industry that has yet to face up to #metoo.
This work is a co-creation by Amy Bryce, Rosie Middleton, Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser and Catherine Valve.
