Gender, voice, language and identity are connected. They are fluctuating and complex notions, strongly determined by and being fundamental to tradition and culture.
Voice is sound but also information, dialect, identity. Voice is political.
Gender is expressed, if not exclusively through the use of voice, and is one of the first elements to identity.
Language is the transportation of words and tone through voice, further revealing identity.
Identity is made from gender, language and voice, amongst other elements.
Gender, together with feminism and activism, regains actuality through the growing socio-economic tensions in all parts of the world. Once again women are arguably more aware than men of the crucial role these notions play in all parts of life, including the grey zone within themselves.
Coproduction with La Monnaie/De Munt, José Villalobos Prats.
