Mytomato
a funny multidisciplinary music theatre piece about the tomatoes as emancipation for voice, piano and video
"Intellectually stimulating and teasingly funny art of our time."
"This three-hour, precisely timed sound structure is a confusing, constantly moving deconstruction of language, voice and sound. […] The bizarre fascination that the spectacle has created will not get out of your head so quickly."
"Voice Box was full of tongue in cheek [...] that allowed the audience to fully join in."
"The avant-garde business trip to the green creates a situational border experience with a feel-good program."
"The audience […] experiences an masterfull musical performance, which is then deconstructed in an irritating sequence of events at different locations in a deliberately bizarre manner."
"Delightful and playful experimental opera from young Finnish composer"
"The most enthusiastic reception got 'ettette' by Miika Hyytiäinen"
"Genuinely avantgardistic German music theatre."
"Ohrenvergnügendes Tafelkonfekt"
"Musically the performance is excellent."
People listen to our voices to hear our identities, but sometimes we also use the voice as mask that hides our true selves. Our personal voice is intimate but at the same time fully public. It tells about our emotions, our lies, about sexuality and gender, physical condition and social background.
Video installation opera uses the tools of experimental music theatre and cinema to make the human voice the center of the drama. The operatic voice of the coloratura sopranos is the starting point but in this laboratory of details of the voice we hear that the voices and identities have many sides. Even the coloratura sopranos can whisper, sing low and softly or talk out their own opinions!
