“What do Adele, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey and La Esterella have in common? They are all contraltos or contraltos. The lowest female voice is also the starting point of the controversial film 'Contralto' by the American composer and percussionist Sarah Hennies. Should women also 'sound' feminine, and what is the relationship between gender and pitch? Hennies' groundbreaking audiovisual work explores transfeminine identity through voice feminization therapy. The cast consists of transgender women, the soundtrack is extremely varied. A compelling film screening with live music accompaniment by GAME.”
