The Voice

In the organizer's words:

The voice is a legendary place: it is directly linked to a person's body and identity - unique, unmistakable, an instrument of self-assertion. The voice can have an irritating effect and remind us of our own vulnerability. In her impressive solo work "The Voice", choreographer Rita Mazza, whose first language is Italian sign language, embarks on a radically intimate and vulnerable search for her own voice from a deaf/deaf perspective. Mazza seizes the voice and lets it become loud: in sound, movement, gestures, light and rhythm. In the process, the boundaries between visibility and audibility, intimacy and publicity become blurred. "The Voice" poses questions about identity, sexuality, control and shame - and the extent to which our sound is socially shaped and evaluated. The performance addresses the audience on multiple levels and works with German sign language, surtitles and live audio description. A profound physical experience that challenges existing norms - and invites us to perceive our own inner voice anew.
