The first will be created specially for the stage at Berlin's Volksbühne studio Prater and performed by Forced Entertainment and invited guests. The second version will premiere at Warwick Arts Centre with Forced Entertainment and a cast of fifteen performers; a combination of guests and performers recruited from the local area. The Voices has been devised and produced by Forced Entertainment, with Volksbühne Berlin and Warwick Arts Centre.
