Onassis ONX (New York, NY) | Demo session for a longer work, part of Tribeca Film Festival | June 7-10, 2023 | A work-in-progress, ielele is a series of live sound / movement narrative portraits that incorporate human and computational vocalization, livecoding, hypertextual mythologies, and fantastical body augmentation to sound out ‘lost’ histories and voices, focusing on female East European mythic figures. “ielele” are female forest creatures in Romanian folklore whose eerie voices led men astray: whoever heard their songs became instantly mute. |
