Marianna Simnett presents her work The Needle and the Larynx, an extraordinary tale about a girl, played by Simnett herself, wanting her voice deepened. A voice surgeon injects Botox into the girl’s larynx, paralysing the muscles controlling the pitch and causing her voice to be deepened for several months. Listen to her sharing her thoughts on exposing her own body to a radical procedure, on the voice as an identity-building force capable of being mutated, and on her fondness of dark fabled universes.
Created and produced by Copenhagen Contemporary in collaboration with Astrid Hald.
