RED DRESS PRODUCTIONS IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE 2015 TRANS CANADA TOUR OF:

TRACE A PERFORMANCE AND AN INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION ONE MAN. MANY VOICES. CREATED BY TRISTAN R. WHISTON AND MOYNAN KING

Can one man stand amidst his many voices and find herself there? Can a person sing harmony with different parts of theirselves? Can we trace the sound of ourselves as we change? If so, what remains of the original voice?

Through an exploration of voice, TRACE transforms a private story into a performative experience integrating sound, video, installation and live performance. Using archival recordings taken before and during Tristan R. Whiston’s gender transition from female to male, along with recent recordings and live vocals, trace explores the idea that change is constant and we are always becoming someone new.

Throughout the installation are multiple speakers, each playing a single part or element in the immersive soundscape. Audience is invited to contribute to the performance by entering one of the installation’s beach inspired changing huts and, using old-fashioned technology, create their own vocal recording, eliciting an experience of auditory self-reflection.

Tristan R. Whiston and Moynan King are artists with distinct multi-disciplinary practices. Their shared interest in ideas of identity, gender, communication and the element of time (in both life and art) brought them together as artistic collaborators early their careers.

This is a co-presentation with Queer City Cinema. The Performance/Installation is Pay-What-You-Can with a Suggested Minimum of $10.
