LA VOIX HUMAINE

THE HUMAN VOICE

LA VOIX HUMAINE is an opera film based on the mono-opera of the same name by Francis Poulenc. The story begins with a crack of light revealing a woman, “Elle“, on the floor. A sudden phone ring startles her. After a recent breakup Elle has been desperately waiting for her ex to call. As their conversation unfolds, surreal imagery mirrors Elle’s emotional journey through the stages of the separation. Her ex’s responses are left to the imagination, conveyed only through her reactions and the shifting musical landscape. The fractured dialogue, distorted by a poor phone connection and dishonesty on both sides, deepens her isolation. In this telecommunicative void, the phone line becomes a lifeline and a gallows rope, connecting and separating, offering both hope and doom.
