LA VOIX HUMAINE by Jean Cocteau
Co-presented by La Boite Indie and Motherboard Productions
Directed by Dave Sleswick
27th June - 14th July, 2012

“…we talk, we talk, it never occurs to us that we’ll have to stop talking, hang up and return to the emptiness, the darkness…”
In a sparse room, a woman sits waiting for the phone toring. The audience is positioned as a voyeur in the ensuing conversation between the woman and her ex-partner as they converse one last time on the day before he is to marry another woman. Wires are crossed, truths are twisted and words misinterpreted in a desperate final effort to connect.
French dramatist Jean Cocteau’s classic masterpiece La Voix Humaine (The Human Voice) is boldly reimagined for a 21st century audience using text, dance, multimedia and bilingual performances in an agonizing depiction of a voice lost in translation. Director Dave Sleswick helms a diverse and talented team of artists to explore the impact of modern technology on communication. With three performers tackling one role, this ambitious full-length work premieres at La Boite Indie 2012 after two developments at Metro Arts’ FreeRange and Brisbane Festival’s Under the Radar.

Pozible Funding...
The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for the design and build of a new set for La Voix Humaine to inhabit. Motherboard Productions is working alongside prolific set designer and visual artist Kieran Swann to create a beautiful and dynamic space that will transport the production into new visually exciting territory. Kieran will journey to Brisbane from Melbourne to work specifically on the project for the first time with director Dave Sleswick and his experienced creative team.
A major focus of the design and construction of the set is to allow manipulation of its components to provide opportunities for the integration of the other design and creative elements including multimedia, lighting, sound and choreography.
As a part of this campaign, we will be updating our pozible account with movements on the design and construction of the set, uploading sketches and stimulus as we go... just so you all can get a grasp on the work that you are contributing to.
STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES...
Who we are...
At the heart of Motherboard Productions is a drive to deliver diverse, experimental and courageous performance events to audiences across Australia and abroad, providing quality services to artists to allow them to focus on their creative work. Born out of a fascination with building an integrated and exciting environment in which to live, our goal is to create an eco-system of like-minded artists who are making and disseminating innovative and socially 'now' performance events.
We provide services to artists with a hands-on approach, investing my time and resources to works in both conceptual and creative development, through to fully mounted and ready-to-tour productions.
