From stadiums to tiktok challenges, drunken singalongs to operatic lament, the merging of city sounds and technologies with song, or a lone voice that sings through the silence, music stages voices in different kinds of collectivity. This show explores the seductiveness, the collective madness and the power dynamics of song through its vocal configurations and relationships to the architectural spaces that stage them.
