TRUCE from TRUCE / PRAVDA by Emmanuelle Waeckerlé

A singing contest starting in language and finishing in pure abstract tones in one continuous take. Using their distinctive voices, a classically trained tenor and a performance artist share and compare their diverging interpretation of the two words HOME and HOLE - seeking meaning and common territory.
There is no easy outcome as questions of gender and interdisciplinarity come into play and the dialogue can only conclude once a truce is reached (outside language).

Emmanuelle Waeckerlé is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, free improviser and curator based in London. Her text scores, artists publications, and performances explore the materiality and musicality of language. Her scores and music are distributed by Edition Wandelweiser Record. She is a Reader in Fine Art and Relational Practices at UCA Farnham.
