An Echo, A Haunting is a free live performance by Boston-based interdisciplinary artist Megan Hyde and upstate NY-based musician Elizabeth Karp.

 

Featuring live music and recorded sound, movement, and handmade objects, the performance explores the distortions of memory, language, and reality through what remains: the music of Yoko Ono. Central to the work is a 30-foot-long silkscreened scroll that transforms a series of personal redacted emails from fourteen years ago into both a costume and musical score.

​

An Echo, A Haunting is presented at the Jamaica Plain community arts space Spontaneous Celebrations. It is supported by a grant from the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture and the City of Boston.
