Description
Part poetry book, part theatre audition resource, Infinite Audition reflects a transmasculine and disabled experience of the world in a voice that is funny, humane and rooted in deep authenticity.
Infinite Audition is a work that explores all spoken word poetry can be. The sections range from solo performance, to musical, dance and puppetry collaborations, to monologues and audition pieces for trans and non-binary actors from Petch's theatrical and operatic works. Each poem is its own little world, sometimes it is the voice of a hotel, a closet, Medusa's serpent, or surgically removed body parts out for a night on the town. Expect only the unexpected.
