Elizabeth Lima: “Lyrebird Hotel”
The Dunn Theatre, 6101 University Ave, Halifax
Part of Open Waters Festival 2024
“Lyrebird Hotel” is a solo performance, by experimental vocalist, composer and improviser Elizabeth Lima, mixing vocal performance, musical sound design and original texts. The show is set in an allegorical hotel, in which dwells and wanders a lyrebird; the Australian bird known as the master of mimicry. The lyrebird celebrates female artists who have been categorized as “mad, bad or sad”, breaking their isolation, travelling within ethereal environments with humour, joy, intensity and reverence.
