Where gesture becomes music and listening becomes physical—Microphone Controller reimagines the rock concert for Deaf and hearing audiences through choreography, embodiment and language. In this 55 minute work, voice is displaced from sound and thrown into the body.
Rooted in CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) identity, the work draws on cultural immersion, responsibility, and translation between worlds. Refracted through the mythology of fame—this work asks what the power of voice costs, and who pays the price. As spectacle fractures into intimacy, Microphone Controller reveals a performer navigating pressure, expectation, and the unstable terrain between communication and expression.
