Lise Borel
Singer
The voice represents us, identifies us. Beyond singing, there is a singularity of the spoken voice that transmits knowledge from generation to generation like a magic word. India is a place of narratives that makes me want to work on this idea of a voice that heals, that transmits and transforms.
