THE PERFORMANCE
1000 Whispers from Our Future
was first presented during Pat’s
Audium Theater 25-26 Artist Residency.
The spatial sound performance, composed for 176 speakers was paired with an art exhibit and installation presenting painting, sculpture, and visual projections reflecting the arc of the composition in physical form.
The show was extended twice and ran for a total of 2 months, selling out the final month of performances.
Below is more infor on the performances:
1000 Whispers From Our Future is an auditory excursion that transcends the confines of our physicality and ascends listeners into the waves of the infinite. It pulls from Pat Mesiti-Miller’s near-decade of work inside California prisons, and features the sounds of the physical structures of incarceration, the people living within them, and the power of our collective imagination and spirit
Central to the piece is a collection of whispers recorded during a series of community visioning events where participants were asked to share their visions of a new world.
This performance examines the world we’ve inherited, most notably the US carceral system, its connection to global struggles for liberation, and the unwavering desire for the human spirit to be free.
