Performance
English is both an inclusive and an exclusive language. It connects people globally, but it also marginalises those who do not meet its implicit standards. Crosswalk Talk recreates the experience of taking the first step into an unfamiliar linguistic environment. English is presented as a traffic signal, which the performers attempt to interpret through their native languages. Some move forward, others pause, misinterpret or wait. As they cross, they navigate the complexities of language, access and understanding. How do we create space for different voices to merge, for communication beyond linguistic boundaries?
