| Event Summary: | Electronic Voice Phenomena/Bluecoat, Liverpool /16 October 2011 |
| Creators: | Leahy, Mark |
| Abstract / Summary: | The performance uses Gertrude Stein’s ‘Identity: A Play’ as a base onto which is layered material around the relation of voice to self, of speech to body, and of the spoken or heard constructions of gender, sexuality or belonging. The Rolf Harris song ‘Two Little Boys’ is expanded and commented on, and the text draws from the balcony scene in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, as well as from research into voice recognition technology, and local linguistic traces. |
