“I wanted to gather those with experience of voice loss and their families, artists and professionals with an expert connection to voice and discover the meaning of ‘voice’ and how the concept of voice intersects with identity.”
–Hannah Conway, Author, to Docubase
Working internationally with people with lived experience of voice loss, interdisciplinary professionals, arts venues, festivals and hospitals, The Sound Voice Project aims to expand our understanding of the value of the human voice. What is a voice and what happens when it is gone?
Composer Hannah Conway and writer Hazel Gould collaborated with video designer Luke Halls and sound designer David Sheppard to set three operatic movements from The Sound Voice Project: Paul, I Left My Voice Behind, and Tanja. Each is a deeply personal and distinct experience. By turns uplifting and heart-rending, the works together celebrate the beauty and intrinsic value of the human voice whilst exploring the digital and synthetic.
The three works are experienced consecutively as a 25-minute performance installation comprising projections onto three portrait gauze screens and an immersive surround-sound system in a blackout space.
