With over 7,000 languages spoken around the world and over 200 on our island home, language shapes how we think and express ourselves and when we translate it sometimes the meaning gets lost.

Our poets channel someone who (may or may not have) said learning a new language is to have a second soul, but it’s also ok to not translate directly and let the audience just feel the vibe within. Or not, because sometimes not everything is made for your consumption, and that’s ok.
