Lost in Narration

Short description

"Language refracts meaning as it moves across mediums. In this performance, a live script flows through multiple phases of narration and musical transformation, each filter subtly altering the narrative before it's turned into a fixed, printed record. Viewers are invited to experience the tension, misinterpretation, and elasticity of language as the narrative shifts and the original is forgotten."
