This performance is a reinterpretation of a language learning class about introducing yourself in dialogue, inspired by a pseudoscientific language learning method that carries the name ‘Suggestopedia’ or 'Learning Language with Love'.
By attempting to simulate the sensorial experience of a language from the learner’s perspective (with unconvential uses of voice, words and handwriting), the work wants to alienate English from its ‘fluent’ speakers, seeking potential fertile grounds for language revival and alternative world building in the stages of learning that manifest in between the binary distinction of ‘not knowing’ and ‘knowing’ (yourself in) a language.
