Description:
Polyglotte/Tidal Power was a performance that explored the theme of warfare and its function as a foundation of communicative actions. The performance was inspired by the work of artists from Soviet-Russia: writers Olga Berggolts, Oriana Fallaci, and Sergi Yezersky; composer Dimitri Shostakovich; and photographers Yevgeny Khaldei, Boris Khudayarov, and Ivan Shagin.
To realize Polyglotte/Tidal Power, Druick was joined by Myros Buriak, Diana Kemble, Stephen Nemtin, and Renee Rodin to provide voicework.
Western Front is a non-profit artist-run centre in Vancouver.
