Soaring vocal artist Carmina Escobar (2026 Creative Capital Awardee) presents Our Voice Is Not at the End of Anything, a spiral-structured opera in gesture and sound that reimagines voice as force, friction, and breath. Across the opera each turn of the spiral asks a question: What is a voice when it is not heard but held, when it resists power, when it becomes collective? Moving through war, grief, and renewal, the work explores the voice-body as an instrument of resistance and repair—a living echo that insists on art, connection, and survival at the edge of collapse.
