HBAF 2020 Presents - The Human Voice

Written in the middle of the last century by two enfants terribles of the French art scene, Poulenc and Cocteau, The Human Voice is an uncompromising performance that challenges the audience to play detective in unravelling lies both spoken and unspoken.

This site-specific production will take place inside a hotel room, bringing audiences within inches, both physically and emotionally, to the performer. A woman waits for the phone to ring. To talk to her ex-lover one more time. This is a tale of love stripped down, the lies we tell to others and ourselves. An unflinching examination of the human condition in a drama you cannot look away from.
