Trace

April 29, 2023 @ 2:00 pm11:59 pm

Tristan R. Whiston and Moynan King | A ReDefine Arts and Theatre Passe Muraille Co-Production

How do we reconcile all of who we have been, with who we are now, and who we are yet to become?

Enter the world of Trace: an interdisciplinary performance about the voice in transition.

Created by Tristan R. Whiston and Moynan King, Trace focuses on the ongoing nature of queer being and becoming. By transforming a private story into a public performance, audiences will be taken on a journey across time and identity.

Beginning with archival audio recordings of Tristan’s singing voice across different stages of his gender transition, Trace integrates sound art, music, and video in an immersive and interactive live performance. Archival footage of the 1990’s cabaret act The Boychoir of Lesbos, created by Tristan and co-realized by Moynan, is woven in as a tangible example of the ways that performance can extend and realize gender identification using the voice as a key method of doing so.

In the current iteration of the show, Trace gestures toward a queer future with the live performance of a newly realized trans/non-binary/gender-queer choir that reflects the changing nature of queer community and identity.
