Premiere of "La voix humaine"


Today Panevėžys Music Theater opens the curtain for Poulenc's La voix humaine. The claustrophobic room described by Jean Cocteau gets a twist in this production to highlight the isolation and loneliness of the protagonist. It is a space where a phone gains existential importance, as it is her only connection with the outside world.
