"Voice of the Americas" is a bold experiment in form and content. The performance incorporates live spoken word, original compositions and sound design with elements of theater to form a provocative, unsettling hybrid. It’s part poetry, part theater and part symphony.
Contemporary spoken word has just begun to explore its own power and scope and "Voice" begins to push this art form from the coffee house to the hip hop symphonic and mainstage.
The piece serves up an alternative perspective, reflecting a deeply conflicted United States over the past ten years, and is told through various personas, sometimes speaking through those personas and at other times, about them.
Words by Lucas Smiraldo, Music & Sound Design by Wrick Wolff.
Directed by Ieisha McIntyre.
Featuring Performances by Pastor John Stroeh, Ieisha McIntyre, Johnnie Pratt, Julie Davidson-Gomez, and other Tacomans.
