DESCRIPTION:Hosted by \nMusicians: Natalia Pavlova and Igor Stepanitch\n\n'
 La voix humaine' (The Human Voice\, after Jean Cocteau) is an experimental
  film concert\, created and performed by Natalia Pavlova during the comple
 te lock down this summer at her apartment in Rome. The video on the screen
  that serves as the backdrop of her performance was made on the rooftop of
  her building\, a special place where it was possible to walk freely and b
 reath in the fresh air during this time... (as it was not possible to walk
  on the street without special permission).\n\nThe opera 'The Human Voice'
  was composed by Francis Poulenc for Maria Callas—although the great sin
 ger would never go on to perform it\; during the final two years of her li
 fe\, Maria never left her Paris apartment\, and it is said she would frequ
 ently listen to her own recordings and sing along at full volume\, forming
  a duet with her own voice.\n\n"The sole role in the 'Human Voice' depicts
  a young\, elegant woman who has been abandoned by her lover. The entire p
 lay consists of a telephone conversation with this lover who has left her.
 ”—Poulenc\, in the preface to the score. \n\nThe telephone is the only
  thing that still connects a single woman with life\; when the telephone f
 alls out of her hands\, she falls by herself\, alone...\n\nCoincidently\, 
 Pedro Almodóvar was filming his short film 'The Human Voice' around the s
 ame time this year\, as if there was a telepathic connection between the t
 wo artists.\n\nNatalia Pavlova would like to dedicate this work to Maria C
 allas\, as well as to all artists today who are unable to go on stage and 
 share their talents due to our current global situation.\n\nNatalia Pavlov
