Since 1982, Anna Homler has incanted the character of Breadwoman—an ancient storyteller housed in bread that emerged out of the downtown Los Angeles performance art scene. Of the language of Breadwoman, Homler explains “I think of English as lettuce and my own language as bread.” Kneading language into music; toys into instruments, Homler’s vocal, visual and performance practice explores alternative means of communication and the poetics of ordinary things.

Enchanting audiences with her celestial vocalese for this special performance for MUMA’s Sound Spaces at MPavilion. Homler will be chanting her divining speech and lyrical melodies with special guests Samuel Karmel and Lilian Steiner in a series of very special quasi-theatrical, fully mythic, ritualistic performances of Breadwoman.

Presented by Liquid Architecture, MPavilion and MUMA in association with MOFO 2018 with special thanks to All Are Welcome. A Liquid Architecture project curated by Cara Stewart, as part of MUMA’s Sound Spaces series.
