VOICE PORTRAITS: POETRY AND FILM OF MARCUS BERGNER & MYRIAM VAN IMSCHOOT
Spectacle Theatre and Sarma join forces to present an evening that pairs screenings with live performance by Marcus Bergner (Australia) and Myriam Van Imschoot (Belgium). Vocal tangents and aberrant hosannas combine within sound poetry, experimental film and various forms of portraiture. In addition to films both digital and 16mm, Marcus Bergner and Myriam Van Imschoot will perform the sound poetry piece Schloss Songs.
This event is also the launch of Family Mafia, a voice portrait by Alessandro Bosetti of his friends Michelle Nagai, Kenta Nagai, DD Dorvillier and Sebastien Roux. The evening will launch the new online audio- publication within the Sarma series Volume SP: Family Mafia. This new online publication features within the sound poetry series Volume SP on Oral Site and is launched with a live performance by special guest Michelle Nagai.
With thanks to Sarma/Oral Site for support, Joel Schlemowitz and Eric de Kuyper.
