    The ways we sound and the noises we make are often judged and regulated by society. Coming from the perspective of growing up with Italian sign language as their first language, choreographer Rita Mazza dissects the labels put on different uses of “The Voice” – including their own. In their new performance with the same title, Mazza explores the intimate relations between identity, sexuality, and vocal articulations, while investigating control, solidarity, and shame. Developed in an artistic process that took accessibility into account from the start, the piece is a powerful challenge to the predominant culture that considers hearing as the norm.
