Description
On stage is a small sound booth; inside sits a woman, alone. She is a voice-over artist. Off stage, in a space never seen but only heard, two disembodied voices ask her to conjure different voices for commercials, self-help audiobooks, meditation tapes, computer games, robo-calls... anything and everything. Is she the powerful protagonist in her own narrative? A puppet for capitalism? Or something else entirely... A post-pandemic, post-human vocal soup that wonders aloud about how the human voice lives on outside the body and what kind of ghosts will haunt us when we’re gone.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
