'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.
