Medley of performances, 20-90 minutes

This experimental operatic performance called out and responded to—the coloniality imbued in the building and surrounding architecture of the RWA—through a series of expansive vocal exercises composed in collaboration with the singers; Ronald Samm and Anne Fridal from the Black British Classical Foundation. Bringing their own African-Caribbean diasporic histories and lived experiences to the forefront. Through vocal labour, the singers moved between; tenor and soprano, opera and folk, performance and warm up, speaker and listener. This attempt to come together was guided by Libita’s improvised scores, which drew from black liberatory and resistance histories.
