Where Music Meets Memory

Written & performed by Karen Cecilia

Doorway to Perception asks the audience to consider music as both memory and as part of their own story. Karen Cecilia performs the theremin throughout; a uniquely ethereal, body-responsive instrument that becomes both a musical and symbolic conduit as we journey between sound, story, identity, and political agency.

Doorway to Perception asks the audience to consider what music offers us in a time when public expression is increasingly fraught. As political forces attempt to dictate narratives, the act of listening, and of creating, becomes a form of defiance. Each performance includes structured audience participation as Karen tells personal musical memories that become a living part of the work.
