In
Voicing Pieces, your own voice is staged to become the protagonist. In the intimacy of an isolated sound booth, guided by a simple score, you become spectator of your own voice.
Aren’t our own voices always inauthentic and uncanny? Who is speaking, when your own voice speaks? Rather than recognizing yourself in the stranger,
Voicing Pieces is an invitation to recognize the stranger in yourself.

"It is a long journey, although it lasts only half an hour, which eventually brings you back home to yourself, to your own voice. And it will never sound the same again. Magical."

Begüm Erciyas is a performance artist born in Ankara, Turkey working across various disciplines - most prominently dance and performing arts. Her works have been internationally performed, for instance at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin), Kaaistudios (Brussels), iDANS (Istanbul) and the Tanzquartier Wien (Vienna) amongst others.
We are delighted to be supporting the installation together with the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany at this year’s Fierce Festival.
