CONCEPT
(The narrative text speaks of rape, of how the voice can become everyone's, or someone's, without ever having asked for it)

"Freeing the voice is a ritual that leads to opening drawers of the self.
Each of these has a design, an age, a story.

It can frighten, reassure, amaze, reknit scattered threads.

The voice is memory of the self but is also memory of latitudes and times, it presents itself to others to seduce but often misleads itself.

It is child, old man, woman, what it would have wanted, what it inevitably manifests.

It may be accepted or rejected but its cry and whisper remain, like a dot in the cosmos like a prayer, an invocation, a journey.

If it leaves a mark it welcomes love, otherwise it closes its drawers and begs to grow to show itself to the world another day, in another life, more beautiful, purer, more alive.

This is how the voice can be joy or become heartbreak in the time of a few minutes on a stage, and there is no way to make it up for it, to try to reassure it that it is other than itself.

The voice will always remain only what it achieves in telling those around us, or what kills us bit by bit through rejection.

To believe it is only 'ours' condemns us in no uncertain terms, so to hope it is everyone's.

Better to hope it is for the few who can authentically love us in hearing its name hidden in the sound, which comes from us."

(Claudio Milano)
