Guillermo E. Brown Program Note
Guillermo E. Brown’s program consists of a triptych, whose parts unfold in the style of a roulette wheel, re-ordered by the artist for each performance.
As Brown recently said, “I don’t have any expectations for how this is supposed to go. It’s going to change every night. I guess it’s much more like a band that has opera singers.”
One piece, The Instrument, features a 30-inch projection surface that is used as both a screen and a drum: a percussion instrument as a living installation producing audio and visuals in reaction to human gesture. According to the artist, it functions as an interdisciplinary system within a musical framework, focused on performative complexities and aesthetic considerations of jazz. (The Instrument is also a project of Doris Duke Foundation Performing Arts technology LAB.)
A second work, titled Romance, is inspired by Harlem Renaissance author Claude McKay’s posthumous novel Romance in Marseilles, which was published for the first time in 2020, 87 years after it was written. The postcolonial, Jazz Age tale focuses on the story of Lafala: a fabulous dancer and West African stowaway who loses his legs while sequestered on a ship, for which he sues the shipping company, allowing him to return to Marseilles replete with riches.
According to Brown, his project revolves around the distortion and cutting through of time.
“I’m in a long line of musical thinkers playing with time…,” he says. “I want to see if I can stop it. And if I can, however fleeting, then the prototype will have worked.”
The final piece, the percussion-driven Bee Boy, continues this manipulation of time by drawing comparisons across historical lines. The piece touches upon the European honey bee, which was imported to the colonial United States in order to pollinate our food supply.
“They’re part of the farming industrial complex,” Brown observes. “I began to see parallels between how bees are treated and how Black folks are treated.’”

Guillermo E. Brown Libretto
1. Static Gold
V1
If i’d a hope i would i go there
quiet as a rose
pinned to the inside of a cardboard box
tattered pages of the last time we were here
not living in fear
hope to rejoice somewhere else
V2
momma told me there be days like this
If pain is the point
keeps us all online with the divide
A crowning achievement
as rough as the stardust
strewn across the sky
BRIDGE:
woozy from the fight
you know they’ve got a point
feels like going back in time
as if it was the monster’s work to change minds
stepping on us
you’ve got to know your purpose
greater purpose in the world not this
Chorus:
World gone crazy
Clock gone cold
with the voices lifting
like an element,
doesn’t change
STATIC GOLD
OUTRO:
(Can’t turn it back anymore)
2. Awake
Intro:
song of the free
like a disease (like a trapeze)
get none of the peace
get all of the feels
Verse 2:
I’ll jump higher just to show the world
I can fly
feels like all the while they’ve conspired to watch me try
like stepping thru the marshmallow layer before you die
only to curry favor with y’all it’s what I desire
Chorus:
Are ya’ll awake?
I’d like to know
it dawned on me
you might be sleep
Verse 2:
I’ll float by
glide past all the trials
i wanna hide
while deftly using style to laugh instead of crying
you saw me in the street you thought i was shy
that’s just the shock casting a mask across your eyes
Bridge:
is it God or Profits?
let me speak my mind dammit
don’t wanna lose
Chorus:
Are ya’ll awake?
I’d like to know
it dawned on me
you might be sleep
3. A Repudiation of Optimization (From Bee Boy)
Haunted by these ghosts on the wall
They Dropped interplanetary tears into the frame
Unbeknownst to themselves
We/They captured images
Against the ghastly demise
And replayed the dramas
frame by frame
So far from home
From inside the deep expanse,
Beyond
Nina laughs again
As if to say I warned you
With her cackly grin
Comatose
Alone
Eventually never to be grasped
I sing now to disintegrate the isolation
And take the chance
to describe the scene, once more,
from inside the dance
An icy floor
An exhaustive summer
Trapped in an n inescapable grasp
One step too far from her gaze
But not for the lash
I’ll invoke the scene again
Watch the drama awful unfold
Lifted off the ground
We went and put our head inside of the piano’s hood
Sucked the exhaust from an Interceptor
As if to breathe life into the frame
Another still
we play til dusk
But as we lost the light we lost ourselves
And they lost our grins
Even though we were just kids
She permutes our age
To ring in new guns
Like a private nuke would do
Inside of a mother’s heart
4. MOVING SLOWLY (from Bee Boy)
Even if you’re just moving slowly
That’s how it is
5. At Night (from Romance)
When all my daze begin with fire
Who will wait for us?
Go off into the night
Unfolding as a surgeon at glass
Is this life oh so cold?
It always hits me like a brick
The scars begin to show the wrath
(And we sing)
Ah Ah
You’re right that it begins with me
When not one of us can turn to love
I stand to ref a furious fight
We/you burrow deep beneath the sand
Tonight, Tonight
The things we choose to do at night
Only at night (cough)
When things subsist beyond control
Yes all the simple things awry
Those plans
Those plans aghast
Oh so aghast
The light beyond the flames desire
And lo from what you find
The hurt’s solar radiates with light
The things we dare to do at night
And sing out
Ah Ah
To dance a dance as if to say
the failed designs
The things we choose to do at night
Only at night
The things we choose to do at night
Only at night
6. Hard Life (from Romance)
It’s a hard life
With an almost total disregard for us
Cuts like a knife
With an almost total disregard for our love
7. SUN’D (from Romance)
I just want to let you know
What’s mine is mine
I plan to keep it that way
While I consume
More and more to please the pain
Like an open sore
In an earthquake
Lacking basic needs
A tendency to break
Without true form
A frequency informed
via vapors and waves
Lacking a true form
A code that I’m never meant to break
Consuming
More and more
just to please the pain
Chorus:
a cold cold puff puff
Woof woof pass pass
gold rough
Skim thin tough tough
Skin skin enough’s enough

OUR VOICES ARE NOT AT THE END OF ANYTHING
An Opera of Voice Becoming
By Carmina Escobar
Opera’s core material, its essence, is the voice.
This work returns to that material at its most elemental level. Voice is not language, though it carries it. It is not only pleasure through song, though it can flood and move us. It is vibration under pressure, air set in motion by the body. A physical event that exists only through contact.
Yet voice is not reducible to its physics. Vibration is measurable, but what it sets into motion exceeds measurement. Voice alters interior states. It shifts perception. It gathers memory and projection into the present tense of sound. What begins as breath becomes presence.
Voice leaves the body and enters space. It strikes surfaces, is absorbed, reflected, altered. It measures distance and proximity. It reveals relation. In this sense, voice is not expression added onto identity. It is being in contact. It is ontological, existence occurring through relation.
Because voice moves through matter, it is changed by what it encounters. No sound returns unchanged. Each vocal act carries the imprint of the space it travels through, the bodies it touches, the histories it resonates against. But voice also exceeds what it touches. It produces interior reverberations that cannot be fully named. It opens psychic and collective dimensions that are not visible but are felt.
The body produces sound, and the world reshapes it in return. Between these exchanges something more than acoustics occurs. Voice is never singular. It is always between, both ours and not ours, personal and shared at once. It exists at once as physical vibration and as existential event.
The opera takes this condition as structure. It unfolds as a spiral rather than a line. Instead of progressing toward resolution, it returns to the voice under shifting pressures. Breath, tone, silence, density recur, each time reorganized by relation and by an ontological question: what is voice, here, now?
The spiral is a refusal of linear teleology, the idea that time advances toward progress, climax, or inevitable end. It interrupts the colonial structure of time that frames history as a straight path toward domination or extinction. Spiral time does not erase rupture. It repositions it. What appears as ending becomes re-entry from another angle.
The work inhabits an in-between condition, what Gloria Anzaldúa names Nepantla, where identity forms through tension and crossing. It draws from Indigenous relational ontologies in which being is constituted through contact rather than isolated essence. The piece does not offer conclusions. It stages conditions in which irreducible presence presses against symbolic form.
From this friction, what I call ecstatic realities emerge. They are not facts and not fictions. They surge from the collision of symbol and irreducible presence, brief intensities that make contradictions felt. Structures of power and singular bodies meet. Representation and excess collide. These moments do not resolve into truth. They open thresholds. They ask us to perceive otherwise.
Because opera is organized around the voice, the work treats opera not only as genre but as research structure. Rather than rejecting convention, it expands it from within. Staging shifts between framed spectacle and shared proximity, testing how voice operates under different social and perceptual conditions, as display, as vibration, as collective duration.
We live in a moment marked by genocide, ecological devastation, racialized violence, and extractive systems that narrate collapse as destiny. Against this, the opera proposes continuity not as optimism, but as persistence, an anti-colonial insistence that relation survives.
The spiral does not promise salvation. It refuses extinction as narrative.
The voice does not conclude. It recirculates. We are not at the end. We are inside the turn.
The Spiral: Origin and Turns
Origin Point: Cutting in Time
Cutting in Time establishes rupture as origin. Time is not introduced; it is broken open.
The work begins not with narrative, but with excess. From the void, a voice appears in the raw fire of beginning, at the threshold where noise and silence undo language. Here, articulation has not yet settled. Meaning has not yet formed. Voice exists as force before structure. It destabilizes continuity. It exposes vulnerability and power at once.

Turn I: What Is a Voice, If Not the Body Remembering Itself into Presence?
Turn I shifts the scale to the human. Spectacle recedes. The distance between stage and audience dissolves. Voice returns to the body not as projection, but as recall.
Placed in direct relation to another body, resonance travels through skeleton and interior space. Vibration is encountered before articulation. Sound moves through proximity, consent, touch, and shared breath.
Voice is treated as the first field that holds us, the first vibration felt before language, before separation. It moves affect through contact, pressure against pressure. Presence is not declared; it is co-created. What begins as singular presence thickens into collective vibration, attempting to form a living spiral.

Turn II: What is a voice made of, when it is not heard but held?
Turn II withdraws audibility. Silence governs the space. Voice does not arrive as acoustic sound; it exists as structure within the body.
This turn grows from witnessing ASL practitioners translate experimental, non-linguistic sound into embodied form, rendering sound as physical architecture rather than linguistic equivalence. Here, voice is not reduced to speech. It shifts state.
If voice at its essence is vibration, then movement is vibration. The body in motion is one condition of voice. Tension, velocity, timing, and muscular articulation become its medium. Voice is carried in form rather than emitted as sound. In this state, voice is no longer dependent on audibility to exist. It persists even when silenced.
The audience does not listen for acoustics. It witnesses how voice remains present when sound is removed.

Turn III: What is a voice when it exceeds the self?
TURN III is conceived as a short film created on site at the Amargosa Opera House.
The Amargosa Opera House stands as a body of devotion. It persisted as an extension of Marta Becket, a dancer and painter who discovered the abandoned theater in 1967 after her car broke down near Death Valley Junction. She chose to remain. In a town nearly emptied of spectators, she painted audiences onto the interior walls, imagined figures bearing witness. In a room without guaranteed presence, she created eyes. Art exceeds isolation. It reaches toward relation.
She performed there for decades, well into later life. The theater is not symbolic devotion but devotion enacted architecturally. Persistence here is survival. What exceeds the self is this insistence, the pressure to continue, to make form, to call and be called even without reply.
Death Valley establishes the surrounding condition. It is materially severe: heat, scale, distance. It demands intention and endurance. It does not sustain fantasy. Nothing responds. Nothing confirms. To remain requires decision beyond comfort.
Everything here is a body under pressure: land, wall, skin. The film remains close to these surfaces. Desert stone holds geological time. Painted plaster carries accumulated gesture. Skin registers endurance in real time. These proximities are not aesthetic but contact surfaces where history becomes visible and force is felt.
Between architecture that persists and landscape that exposes, voice shifts. It is no longer expression but pressure carried through time. Calling is not preference or inspiration. It continues regardless of recognition.
The artists in TURN III are not characters or metaphors. They are present because they have remained inside their practices without retreat. Each has given flesh, time, and endurance to the work.
Ron Athey enters from a practice forged at the threshold of extremity, where the body has long served as site, witness, and irrevocable inscription.
Oguri enters through decades of disciplined transformation, a practice rooted in land and body, where stillness carries weight and movement alters atmosphere.
Astrid Hadad enters bearing cabaret as architecture and armor, sculptural and political, where ornament sharpens critique and endurance becomes radiance.
TURN III is structured as an action score establishing shared conditions of site, duration, and exposure. Within this field, each artist composes their own actions. Co creation names the reciprocal shaping between individual practice and the structure that holds it.

Turn IV: What is the voice of the future, when voice only exists in relation?
Voice returns as collective force. Breath, the material of voice, passes through metal as shared labor. Air becomes communal material. Mourning and celebration coexist without hierarchy.
The bodies on this stage are not neutral matter. They carry history, struggle, devotion, contradiction. Cross border traditions shaped through mestizaje move alongside practices formed in civil rights movements, migration, exile, and survival. Some bodies are marked by gender variance, displacement, racialization, and ongoing hostility toward multiplicity. These presences are not illustrative. They are continuities under pressure.
Voice survives because it is carried through bodies that practice together. It endures through repetition, through breath exchanged across mouths and instruments, through labor sustained in common.
Resistance sounds like continuation. It refuses disappearance by remaining audible. It does not dramatize survival; it builds futures. Hope here is action. Joy is strategy. To sound together is to assert that life exceeds the structures that attempt to narrow it.
Voice persists across borders and generations because breath cannot be owned. It moves from body to body. It is taught, borrowed, altered, and returned.
The future here is not linear. It spirals. What gathers now contains what has been and what will come. Those who wage destruction fail to see that relation binds what they attempt to divide. No body stands outside the field.
To continue together when stopping is not an option is not optimism. It is structure in motion. It is collective survival practiced in relation. Voice does not belong to one body. It circulates. It gathers. It multiplies. It refuses containment. The spiral does not close; it continues. In that turning, new worlds are voiced into being.
