Francis Poulenc and Jean Cocteaus one-act tragedy, La Voix Humaine, asks: What is love? Is all the suffering worth it? And most importantly: does love take a different form for a man and a woman? These are the questions that drive the narrative. Two people interpreting the same characterliving parallel lives, as in a mirroruntil circumstances lead them to make different decisions.This duality opens a world of existential metaphors: Is he her? Is she him? Both are the same person; whether male or female. they are just living emotions. This is a bilingual production sung in French and spoken in English, combining the operatic monodrama with the original play. It premiered at Rioja Forum to great acclaim in 2018, where it will be reprised October 2021, and was featured in the New York Opera Fest. "Incredible performance capable of being presented on any European stage ... a surprising treat the public applauded the three performers adamantly and of course the director who has the ability of enlightening the theatre scene with very daring and original productions.Eduardo Aisa, La Rioja "What this troupe is able to achieve is both clarity and beauty. It is a remarkable and accessible evening of opera theater."Susan Hall, Berkshire Fine Arts "A magnificent adaptation of an operatic masterpiece."Jennifer Pyron, Opera Wire
