Hearing Voices

Hearing Voices

Work:: Hearing Voices (S01209274340)

Composer Jocelyn Pook's great aunt Phyllis Williams spent much of her life in an asylum struggling to make sense of the voices she heard. She recorded her experiences in a series of diaries and notebooks. Hearing Voices combines Phyllis's testimony with that of four other women diagnosed with mental illness, spanning several generations: artists Bobby Baker and Julie McNamara; Mary Pook, another of Jocelyn's relatives; and seamstress Agnes Richter, who stitched cryptic texts into a jacket she wore in a German asylum at the turn of the last century. Singer Melanie Pappenheim duets live with recordings of the women's words, protests and laughter and striking visuals from Dragan Aleksic.
