The Soloists (A Case Study)
Working with WA composer Tim Cunniffe, The Soloists (a case study) is a choral adaptation of Freud’s famous ‘failed’ case, Dora. Dora is an eighteen-year-old ‘hysteric’ hopelessly entangled in the destructive relationships of her family and their intimate friends. Freud’s attempts to enact a cure are thwarted by Dora’s ability to elude the analysis. In The Soloists, the testimonies of each character within the case study compete within a sound world made entirely of human voices.
