The composer, performer and singer Guillermina Etkin presents “Vox Humana”, Paraíso Club's first work of the year, which will be released on Wednesday 29 January at 20 hours and will offer performances on Thursday 30 to 20 Y 22 hours in the CheLA Space (Iguazu 451, CABA).

This interdisciplinary piece inaugurates a season that will include artists such as Federico León, Diana Szeinblum, Ivana Müller (France) and Jimena Marquez (Uruguay), among others.

“Vox Humana” investigates the connection between the human voice and the register of a pipe organ that seeks to emulate it. The work combines three voices on stage, a digital organ and GlaDys: a tube electroacoustic instrument driven by speakers, specially designed for this project. Guillermina Etkin comenta: "In 2020 I had the opportunity to explore the Opus Klais organ 1912 of the CCK National Auditorium. There I discovered the story of Aquilino Amezua, a Spanish Basque organ builder who designed the Vox Humana record after studying human larynxes. This encounter led me to question myself: What makes a voice human?? Can a machine emulate it?”.

The work is constructed as a performative artifact that explores the limits between the human and the machinic., and it also becomes a personal requiem after the death of the artist's father.. “‘Vox Humana’ is also a lament, “a sound space to dialogue with absence”, Enabled for reflexion.

An interdisciplinary and self-managed proposal

The piece, originally premiered at the Buenos Aires New Opera Festival (FNOBA) in 2024, is supported by the Atlanticx Foundation and the Williams Foundation. Its arrival at Paraíso Club reinforces the vision of the space: generate an innovative logic of cultural production. “Paraíso Club turns its audience into producers of new artistic creations”, explained from space, offering monthly releases, disassemblies, workshops and situated experiences.

The functions of “Vox Humana” will be carried out on 29 Y 30 January at Espacio CheLA, while the disassembly will be on Friday 31 January at 19 hours in Palpita (Palpa 3390, CABA). Seats available by Click here!
