Gaumenkino (theatre)

Ensemble Leitundlause (Germany)

A stylish musical theatre performance about speech as product. Five women exploring the strange and wonderful world of the every day life in which the human voice – once the most individual means to express oneself – has turned into a market for stereotypical voices encountered everywhere: airports, trains, supermarkets, commercials etc. Unearthing speech patterns, sounding out how we communicate in the modern world and performed as an oral flip book, this piece is an aural treat. Includes vocal compositions from Georges Aperghis, Cathy Berberian, Emanuele Casale, Meredith Monk and Michael Hirsch, most of whom treat language as non-semantic sound material and create subtle, imaginative and absurd music full of Dadaistic humour. Performed partly in German, with subtitles
