La Voce is inspired by
Donizetti’s opera, Lucia di Lammermoor, and the Silent Film era. It
is a satiric fable that tells the story of Edgar, a butcher who
works in slaughterhouse that kills pigs on an industrial scale. He
loves his job. He loves to sing opera, despite his
awful off-key singing voice. And above all he loves Ginette, the
stripper of his dreams. However, the day when Edgar is going to ask
her to marry him is the day he surprises her with her legs in the
air, bedding her boss.
The shock is such that he loses his voice and unfortunately finds
himself with the voice of a pig from his slaughterhouse. Edgar
thought that he had lost the love of his life but it’s his own
identity that is disintegrating. Yet what if Edgar wasn't the only
one suffering from this malady? Can this forsaken soul find love
again?
