I first noticed the soothing tone of Efterpi Soropos’s voice, a quality much
deeper than the scripted modulations of, say, a cabin attendant’s words, and far more reflective. I have come to visit Soropos’s ‘Disambiguation Room’, a semi-permanent sound/light/film-based installation in one of the former family rooms
at McCulloch House, a palliative care facility attached to Monash Medical Centre, in Clayton, Melbourne. It’s a long way from the kind of settings in which Soropos, a NIDA graduate in technical production and lighting design, initially applied
her training – to Sydney’s Performance Space, then a crucible for experimental site-specific theatre, and to the burgeoning rave party scene.
