About

This February, the walls of Audium Theater will come alive with a chorus of empowerment, connection and loss as New Voices
IV takes flight. Known as the world’s only “theater of sound,” Audium’s latest sound residency series highlights the
emotionally rich and powerfully resonant works of three Bay Area artists: Briana Marela, Phillip Laurent, and Shanti Lalita.
Each artist harnesses Audium’s unique 176-speaker environment to craft their show, taking audiences on a journey that is as
intimate as it is expansive. From reflections on grief and language, to dynamic explorations of space and perspective, to
sensory investigations of marginalized bodies, New Voices IV invites audiences to experience sound in ways that are both
visceral and profoundly human.
