Sounds Like: PEOPLE SAY: Liza Minnelli,Barbra Streisand,Rachelle Ferrell,Yma Sumac,Nancy Wilson....generally "a black voice within a slender white "little woman"! I SAY: "..just..and terribly..MYSELF!"REVIEWS:..."In their exploratory piece, Jiwon Yang (director) and Chiara De Palo go that one step further and devote their entire show to an exclusive theatrical beatification of toilet paper..intriguing combination of monosyllabic exclamations , choreographed movement and Chiara De Palo's beautiful singing , it is engaging and inspiring too..this piece transcends its origins and becomes about a lot of other universal everyday things.." (THE STAGE)..."The performer is remarkably inventive...her voice is bizarrely hypnotic..amazing vocal range , visceral and moving interpretation.." (THREE WEEKS)...."It is immediately clear Chiara De Palo is a competent performer as we see her flex and contort body..there is an air of childlike investigation about her as she plays skittishly with the streaks of white paper, rolling and tearing them with gleeful abandon...she plays several roles from comic to dramatic..passion and humour..skilful performer with enchanting voice..great technique, visceral and touching interpretation..in telling the story De Palo manipulates the toilet paper to divide the space or to create puppets with which to work..all the (many) devices are very clever and effective..the overall physical performance is inventive and beautiful..the show concept is original and intriguing..skilful performer with rare vocal talent.." (TOTAL THEATRE)The Voice of Things
