Anna-Helena McLean | ‘A Voice Lesson (Orla Descends)’
Split-stage, immersive music theatre updating Virginia Woolf's 'Orlando' through a contemporary lens. This work in progress combines stories of women spanning 4000 years to open the door on a forgotten path. Nin is a 12 year old who is overwhelmed by the world outside but who also really wants to be a performer one day. She goes on a journey to look for her authentic voice and makes unlikely friends on the way. It's a charming, subversive and musically delicious feast for everyone.
The multimedia performance culminates with an interactive sound-art installation opening up the magical inner workings of the creative process for everyone to try for themselves.
