The Wall of Babel is a multilingual piece interrogating concepts of identity, language, and translation. The fragmented narrative of the performance, taking the structure of the human cycle, revolves around the characters growth and their attempts for communication. The audience does not always understand what the three bodies say, but it is present throughout.
From children playing hide n’ seek; to teenagers seeing their bodies change, to adults going to war – RATATATTATATATA – BOOOOOM; and then to elderly. The performance captures the challenges, humour and beauty of multilingual communication, venturing into non-verbal expression through movement and imagery.
