Echolalia is a gathering of tongues. A communal vocal experience, inspired by the oldest surviving work of notated music, Hurrian Hymn no. 6.
Taking place outdoors, hundreds of audience participants will join two trained singers and a variety of community choirs to create a musical and social experience of significant scale. Subtle surround sound design builds waves of the collective sound into a transformative, deeply moving secular ritual.
