'Seven voices'- images to a non-opera. Joel Cathcart, Isobel Anderson. 25- 30 July


 

 

Seven Voices is a collaborative piece by Isobel Anderson and Joel Cathcart: a vocal song cycle embedded in a gently disorientating mesh of local field recordings, accompanied by a series of large paintings on cardboard. The work is a 'non-opera'; its haiku-like texts describe seven archetypal yet anonymous characters: the monarch, the lover, the child, the magician, the fugitive, the addict and the hermit, hinting at possible connections without insisting on a particular narrative. 


 

A test run for this project was part of'VISUAL SOUND' , March 2011 in PS².

Seven Voices was shown at Belfast's PS2 Gallery from 25 - 30 July 2011.
