In an impossible collaboration spanning 175 years, Megan J Riedl contemplates what it means to be the voice of a city. Emerging from the ashes of her predecessor Ellen Young’s gold-rush era corset and crinoline, Megan explores how impactful moments of social change can be marked by the carefully crafted voices of difficult women. In a work-in-progress showing of her debut full length solo performance, Megan ponders the power of the poetic voice – in finding resting places, in the cathartic nature of capturing the here and now, and in the dichotomy of searing truth-telling wrapped up in euphonic language. Give this woman a soapbox. A Megan J Riedl production presented in partnership with the Eureka Centre.
