April

Sounds and Voices

Company website

‘April’ is an experimental multi-media theater piece that fluidly merges a few discrete artistic media: opera, musical theater, straight play, and film. Composed by Franky Rousseau and Dominic Mekky, with a libretto by Samuel Bronowski, the story tells of a musician's realization that she is quickly becoming deaf, and the ensuing toll it takes on her relationships.

The narrative is told as a collection of fragmented musical scenes, memories. These occur in flashes amid an abstract connective tissue of music, sound and film, sewing the fragments together so that they have the quality of a dream: one thing melts into another, certain details are oddly proportioned, and anything that seems concrete is in fact transient, and once again sinks calmly back into the fathomless, silent ocean of the unconscious.

By Dominic Mekky and Franky Rousseau
Based on the stage play by Samuel Bronowski
