I wanted to create a piece of theatre which used language as an expression of art.
Art: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form.
Expression– The act of expressing, combating, representing in words, art, music, or movement. The outward manifestation of a mood or disposition.
I wanted to create a piece of theatre which weaved in and out of communication traps.
We, as a team did it.
We, as a team loved it.
We hope, more than anything, others will see that working with different Cultures isn’t about access, it’s about giving a living language more and more currency to allow it to flourish and hit all those visceral spots we don’t quite understand.
