“Future Host” is an epithet bestowed to children in officially Socialist states, which posits youngsters as the agent, product, and site of a speculative reality, for which they must always already be ready. Future Host: A Speech Opera interrogates the act of speaking through a purely choral text, written and performed by voice actors in Chinese. Orchestrating recordings of unorthodox verbal expressions into unified/dispersed collective utterances, the piece gives form and spatialized presence to fragmented voices, forming a site-specific acoustic monument centered on a void. Future Host premieres at Knockdown Center, New York in January 2017.
