Existing work ready for touring:

REtransLATE
REtransLATE is a performance about communication and (mis)interpretation. In the transfer of messages and stories from one person to another, one is never sure where the loss occurs on the one hand or where other dimensions of meaning tend to add up. One could wonder if in the end there is meaning in understanding what is said or if meaning is to be found in the spaces between what is said, which one might never be able to understand?
