Kristin Norderval is a performer, composer and improviser whose career split between vocal performance and composition. She is interested in representing the stories of our time on stage, especially stories that further the cause of global human rights. She is in Montreal at the time of this episode for the premiere of her opera, The Trials of Patricia Isasa. She is performing the role of adult Patricia, and I am singing Young Patricia. Patricia Isasa was a 16-year old student union organizer when she was abducted by the Argentinian military government, tortured, and held without trial for 2 years. 30 years later, she brought her perpetrators to justice. Here’s my interview with Kristin Norderval.
