Program note: “The solo piece is an exploration of being through doppelgänger dupplicates, decolonial freedoms and spaces of differentiations.”
Critique: “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)
