Polish collaborators have woven together contributions from artists, activists, and scholars into a narrative about how the voice can bring about change: ⎯ Rajyashri Goody’s 22 vows written in the Ambedkarite tradition. ⎯ Paulina Miu and Ola Zielińska from Otucha collective and their feminist singing practice ⎯ Scholar Gascia Ouzunian’s work on sonic memories of the Armenian genocide ⎯ Andrius Arutunian’s work Do Not Fear, Then! based on Armenian incantations and spells ⎯ Iranian collective Only Voice Remains and their sonic protest around the feminist revolution ⎯ Edka Jarząb’s personally political and politically personal manifesto
Interspersed with Polish, Ukrainian, Iranian, and Armenian music, this 90-minute piece ebbs and flows, from soothing chants to ear-splitting bass, with screaming, singing, whispering and words that weigh heavy on the soul – but also carry dreams. We have explored the limits of the voice to make our spell work. Will you listen?
