Marco Polo Goes Missing

1:59pm - 2:47pm

Monologues, voice memos, compositions, squeaky doors, sounds of different rains, and various nostalgic echoes come together to collage an experience of disenchantment and delight, the sweet dialectic of life. Is this the fragmentary existence in which I am to live my life? Perhaps unity is elusive for a reason...
As Marco Polo (the alleged noodle-bringer) himself most likely did not say, “It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear.”

A huge shoutout to Programming Manager Ciara Reid and Power in Voice Program Assistant Francis Rogers Alvarez de la Cadena for their support throughout the process.

Special and beloved thanks to Ethan Chan, Emanuel Fridrich, Sophia Guan, Amelie Kenney, Aaron Pietzonka, and Francesca Pilia for providing sound bytes to this production. Original songs by Moritz Schwenger.
