Program note: “The solo piece is an exploration of being through doppelgänger dupplicates, decolonial freedoms and spaces of differentiations.”
“The venue is not ideally set up for live electronics (two works had to be restarted due to tech problems). But Mitchener’s performance of Corie Rose Soumah’s Limpidités VI – all sips and slurps excavated from between the syllables of spoken language – and the struggle of voice against mouth staged in Amadeus Julian Regucera’s Bocca Chiusa were every bit as virtuosic and musically compelling as the Hall’s most venerated past performers.” – The Guardian (Are ‘Friends’ Electric? review – Elaine Mitchener redefines what singing means in virtuoso tour-de-force)
