Passaggio questions the gender politics of sound through a teenage boy's voice-finding odyssey. Going through the unsettling phase of voice transition and subsequently losing his voice, the protagonist must plunge into the world's myriad sounds, turning his body into a locale of observation, absorption, and mimesis. Challenging the dominant narratives of voice articulation and able-bodiedness, he fearlessly embraces a fluid identity, a life without an accepted voice. What constitutes an eligible voice? How do we find our own voices in this chaotic world?

“And, 'twixt the shadows and frights of nocturnal splendors, My beloved will secretly be hiding. Say what you will, say what you may.” The sound of a distant whistle and theorbo calls a sleeping singer through the empty streets of Stuttgart in a midnight journey to the opera house. ‘dei notturni splendori’ is an experimental opera film made for the Staatsoper Stuttgart in the early months of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown. Anderson Matthew captures the singer Helene Schneiderman through a midnight dream with a hand-cranked kino camera in an ecstatic 35mm photo roman, in search for her own performance of the Tarquinio Merula madrigal Folle é ben chi se crede from 1638.
