Block Universe presents Nichole Bachmann // I don’t want your whispers

About

Bachmann’s new commission by London’s performance art festival Block Universe ‘I don’t want your whispers’ examines the relationship between language, voice and power. This work is informed by ideas surrounding activism and dominant discourse, and how to find one’s own voice in order to be heard and listened to. Performed by actor Anna Tierney and dancer Patricia Langa, this piece deals with negotiations of speech and the materiality of the voice and gestures. In ‘I don’t want your whispers’ dance and spoken word together form an embodied vocabulary through which the performers navigate the construct of language and affirmation.
