BOTCH
WTF!? Where have our voices gone?
A broken word opera, BOTCH goes in search of the voice and its mutations in contemporary digital culture. In this convergence of sound and performance, a dynamic ensemble cuts, pastes, and scrambles language into an intricate audioscape. More of a processing system than a traditional score, BOTCH unfolds differently each night through the creative misfiring of voices at their outer limits.
