VOCAL WOMB by Eve Klein

Vocal Womb, was a world premiere at Mona Foma (2018).  The artist, Eve Klein, a mezzo-soprano, belted out an operatic performance while a laryngoscope inside her throat externalises the hidden, fleshy workings of the human voice. The performance also incorporated the opportunity for audience members to contribute by remixing the live audio feed.
