I'm Human Now, You're Human Later
|
Borrowing it’s title from Ray Bradbury’s short story I:Mars, and referencing Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape, I’m Human Now, You’re Human Later is part play, part choral work, devised for four voices. The voices are all versions of the author, and of each other. The voices begin by speaking, but slowly evolve their
utterances, sometimes becoming unrecognisable as human, playing off
each other, desolving intelligible patterns of communication, progressively
creating more unusual vocal cadences and modulations. As they work through
eighteen acts, they deconstruct ideas of self, meaning, authorship,
and the evolution of the creative and destructive processes. The work
was developed, performed and exhibited during the solo exhibition of
the same name at i-cabin
