Written and Performed by Ari Agha, with dramaturgical support by Robert Farid Karimi
Directed by Robert Farid Karimi
Key of T is an interactive performance, a participatory sing along/one person show, where Ari shares their experience of singing voice transition with testosterone to reveal under-explored possibilities of voice for everyone, regardless of gender identity. Key of T reminds us of our vocal range and genderful freedom.
Interactive music/theater performance created by and performed by Ari Agha, a collaborative pianist, that uses Ari’s experience of gender and voice transition as a provocation to create space in what it means to be a (mis)gendered human in the world with a range of multiple, simultaneous, and contextualized identities.
Key of T features Ari, a collaborative pianist, and everyone who shows up to the show! The performance includes storytelling, documentation of Ari’s changing voice, soundscape, and singing, and features a song cycle by Canadian composer Carmen Braden, using lyrics based on Ari’s poetry.
