Post-show artist chat moderated by Terri Hron
An immersive, collaborative audiovisual performance, A Voynich Manifesto takes inspiration from a mysterious medieval manuscript written in an unknown language that describes and visualizes plants and star charts unknown to us on Earth. Exploring themes of indecipherability and hidden meanings in sound, shadow theatre duo Mind of a Snail (Chloé Ziner & Jessica Gabriel), and vocalists SJ Kirsch and Viviane Houle create this reenchanted world in collaboration with Hron.
Listening as Activism explores how deep listening can be a form of resistance and social engagement in our noise-saturated world.
