A Choir of Demands and Desires on Repeat is choral performance of feminist speech acts. Performed by an ad hoc choir of local women and nonbinary BIPOC, the score recalls, reminds, and reinstates demands made by women and feminist movements across geography and history. Lending from sound poetry and endurance performance, nuanced political desires within the intersectional matrix of oppressions overflow in an orchestrated cacophony of sounds. Resounding in echoes is the exhaustive labour of repeating a history of feminists demanding social justice.
