The first of the operatic productions envisaged by the IRC funded project En-Gendering Monodrama: Artistic Research and Experimental Productions, led by our Artistic Research Fellow Dr Francesca Placanica, will be staged in Renehan Hall on the 21st of July 2016 at 18:30. The MU-branded production of Poulenc’s and Cocteau’s La Voix humaine will be part of the “Music and Visual Cultures” International Conference, hosted by the Department of Music 21st- 23rd of July 2016, and made possible thanks to the support of the conference organizer Dr Antonio Cascelli, the conference’s sponsoring authorities, the Irish Research Council, and the Department of Music at Maynooth University.
The production, whose soloist and artistic director is Dr Francesca Placanica, features the contributions of Maynooth University staff members and postgraduate students, an intra-institutional artistic collaboration with the Music and Performance Programmes at University of Huddersfield and Bath Spa University (UK), as well as the original visual creations of an American artist, and it is open to the public.
