Production Residency
UK-based composer and playwright Klein is in residence at EMPAC developing a new performance to be presented at MoMA PS1’s VW dome. With references ranging from mythology to Pavarotti to defunct UK young-adult TV network Trouble, Klein uses collagist techniques to assemble recordings of her own vocals and instrumentation.
