Vox: The Art of the Inner Monologue

Vox: The Art of the Inner Monologue One night only — soprano Ibidunni Ojikutu, pianist Jay Rozendaal, and director Julia Benzinger present a bold, contemporary English adaptation of La voix humaine, the searing one-woman chamber opera by Francis Poulenc and French surrealist Jean Cocteau — a kindred spirit to the Pacific Northwest’s tradition of introspective, genre-defying art. 

Vox invites you into the private unraveling of a brilliant woman as memory, identity, and lost love collide. This site-specific performance unfolds within the historic Lairmont Manor, enhancing the emotional intimacy and psychological tension of the piece. Intimate, immediate, and emotionally electrifying, this is opera like you’ve never seen it — no experience required. Don’t miss your chance to witness Vox in the stunning Lairmont Manor — tickets are limited and going fast.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
