Siren (Part I)

"Siren is...
A loud sound; A prolonged sound
A loud, prolonged sound
A signal; A warning
A signal of warning
A loud, prolonged, signal of warning
Ambulances, police cars,
Or fire trucks, the alternating hi-lo signal its familiar
Signaled when alerting the entire community of impending danger
Before tornados, earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes,
Before the London Blitz
Before the bombs fell like rain
Before mothers had time to hide their kids
Before memories are wiped clean
... Used to be a musical instrument."

"What's your siren?"

SIREN is the third installment of Harmony (now a trilogy), a sound sculpture project created with now over 100 voices around the globe. www.thearcticgroup.org/harmony2017
www.thearcticgroup.org/echo.
This staged version of Siren is a workshop. It is not a play, nor is it a finished project. It is still growing, evolving, being defined and redefined. It is a social experiment, and a forum we wish to share between the creators and the audience members.
Scripted portions of the show are written and devised by Ran Xia, Max Henry, Valentina Muhr, Ali Andre Ali, Conor Bell, Jenny Jarnagin, Sarah Walker, and Andrea Lopez.
Lighting design by Ariella Axelbank.

Cast: Max Henry, Valentina Muhr, Ali Andre Ali, Conor Bell, Sarah Walker, and Andrea Lopez.
