Carla Bozulich’s Eyes For Ears is an interdisciplinary, large ensemble performance series based on surreal interpretation of structural dreams. Each performance has been hosted by a different festival, arts or music organization.

The works are in the form of unfolding, composed and improvised tales “told” to Carla in meditative moments inside and around the site. Since most of us, including Bozulich, can not well-understand the language of stone, wood, earth and train tracks, the results are hallucinatory in effect – the stories are that of fractured invitations to immersion.

Mutation and vast re-imagining are essential making each composition so different, but bearing the same signature. As interpreter, Bozulich listens, becomes absorbed, then intoxicated, then spits back the whispers heard in the walls and dust. The outcome is an original, continuous piece changing from moment to moment, traveled through by the audience on multiple levels. Carefully selected musicians, artists and visual designers convolute tangible space unfolding a story… hate, illumination, abstraction, mathematic transformation, the loss of identity to the sound of falling or grotesque laughter slamming another chandelier to the mirror. In other words, who knows? Voyagers is a continuing piece. No two cities, stories, or dedicated compositions are alike.

The cathedral and grounds of an ornate 15th-century monastery in Austria, the theater at the Getty Center for The Arts in Los Angeles (a theater feeling like the insides of a huge, single, white egg reminiscent of A Space Odyssey) are granted a satisfying ear and dedicated interpretation – each site has it’s own “10 minutes”.

At the Donau Festival in Krems, Austria, the contributors performed their original works with Bozulich’s curation. The international artists invited for Voyagers will always be invited to do the same. Artists and audience are happy and it’s just awesome to experience their singular visions.

These (hopefully thrice yearly) connecting events will now fall under the umbrella of, Voyagers.
