Ulysses in Babel


Vivian Allvin (Brazil/Italy/USA)

How We Sound. Who We Are. What We Have to Say. This journey, inspired by the myth of Ulysses: suspended between heaven and hell, sentenced here to the Tower of Babel. Different accents and languages – what a feast for the ear and mind! And in Britain, they carry extra baggage: Class! So how can a foreigner resist the temptation to have a go? From the “upper-class twit” to the quintessentially English head-tilt, a bit of socially acceptable (and only vaguely Marxist) swearing and fun will be had by all! Come get lost in translation!
