BEST INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION: 2015 Amsterdam Fringe Festival
This event brings two intriguing talents to the Registry stage. Gabriel Dharmoo is a composer, vocalist, researcher and improviser. Andrew Reed Miller has created an impressive range of media art, which he combines in performance with his formidable skills as a doublebassist.
Anthropologies imaginaires is a solo vocal performance, which interacts with a video mockumentary. The featured experts comment on invented vocal traditions demonstrated by the singer-performer. The music is inspired by various odd and/or isolated vocal expressions found across the world, but revisited through imaginary folklore and experimental extended voice techniques. In a reversal of academic lecture conventions, the subject of analysis and scrutiny is physically present on stage, as opposed to the speakers. Anthropologies imaginaires showcases the virtuosity, versatility and strangeness of the human voice. This wide range of vocal techniques questions the concept of normality by reminding audiences how people across the world use the voice differently to convey their cultural identities and artistic sensibilities. The project deals with questions such as post-colonialism, post-exoticism, cultural extinction, globalization, normalized racism and cultural appropriation in an ambiguous, humorous and disturbing way.
