| ''Language itself is elastic, bouncing from medium to medium, with each phase refracting meaning. This performance is to experience the nuances lost and gained, the tension between translation and miscommunication within an endlessly looping narrative that is never quite stable.''<br><br>In this live performance, a writer in the room observes and documents the ongoing events in real time, describing the atmosphere, visitors, and interactions as they occur. This live script is projected onto a screen, letting everyone to view the room through the writer’s perspective. As viewers read these words, they become characters in a narrative that may or may not fully reflect reality.<br><br>At the same time, a performer with a microphone reads the live script aloud, narrating the text into spoken form. This narration is then immediately processed through an abstract soundscape, adding musical layers that alter the tone, rhythm, and mood of the narrative.<br><br>Finally, the narrative returns to text form, appearing as printed fragments on a table. Each step in this loop —from text to speech, from speech to music, and back to text—brings subtle distortions, as each medium imposes its own nuances and limits. With each transition, the original meaning drifts, sometimes losing clarity or gaining new interpretations. Weaving misinterpretations and distortions into the narrative is part of experiencing the language.
