(MIS)COMMUNICATION

(mis)communication addresses the limitations of physical and verbal language through a dialogue of movement and spoken word. Interwoven with the poetry of Marina Blitshteyn, the piece explores the emotional landscape (selfish, tender, violent, or absurd) inspired by the challenges inherent in multi-cultural and intergenerational communication.
