The collaborative performance will encourage all attending to make a contribution to it, by vocalising either a word, saying or sentence about something they feel strongly about politically/Politically or perhaps personally - but also, crucially, using their own first language. This collaboration between artists and audience will then be manipulated, audio looped and played within the unique acoustics of the old Council Chambers, creating a unity of experience and expression for those attending.
