Over the last few years, audiences became physically involved in the works of Kate McIntosh - as sensory, interactive participants. But her new performance steps out in a different direction, giving listeners a sonic immersion in a world of percussion and vocals.
Starting from the bodily pleasure of beats and the energy of voices, this show is collaboration of several composers, writers and performers to create a space that vibrates with anger, celebration and joy.
To Speak Light Pours Out is an immersive sonic world that carries voices, texts, and their meaning: it’s a call out to the lust for transformation, resistance, and new shapes of being.
Twisting playfully between gentleness, humor and confrontation, To Speak Light Pours Out brings a liberating and activating effect - inviting us to enjoy the sharp energies of positive disturbance and resolute possibility.
