Description A work inspired by the power of the voice, and what voices and our breath can bring into being, with 'suara' meaning 'voice/sound' in Malay, and 'oro rua' in Maori, meaning 'to resonate. SUARA/ORO RUA imagines a distant, post-anthropocentric future long after the world has gone silent... until the day our fossilised voices once again emerge, their aural energies breaking through the ground like geothermal force. What worlds would those voices call into being? What might those voices declare, lament or confess?
