“Speak English” is a 60-minute solo performance debuting at Cannonball as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival which was created by Vanessa Kamp, an artist based in Barcelona. The show, which draws from dance and movement, performance, devised theatre, experimental sound, and improvisation, is about finding the limits of cohesion and the making of meaning.
Part fantasy, part comic, part drama, Kamp creates spaces with narratives that can disappear or be completely non-linear. The performance runs Sept. 20-22, 2024 at Icebox.
This show has approximately 5 – 10 minutes of spoken language in English and Spanish. Handouts will be available with translations from Spanish to English.
