About the \u201cMacht Sprache\u201d book:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lucy Gasser and Anna von Rath raise awareness for the many ways in which discrimination works in and through language. The book tackles the many problems this presents and makes constructive suggestions for language practices that are less discriminatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the performance \u201cYour Language is Lying to You\u201d:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Giuliana Kierzs and Ben Osborn explore the ideas, structures, and beliefs that inhabit our words. Their performance is an essay, a poem, a concert on the languages that we have inherited, the ones that we forgot, and the ones we decided to create to transform our history. It includes a musical composition deconstructing language as sound, tangling and untangling the rhythms, melodies and harmonies within text and speech to create a live sound score responding to, accompanying, and distorting a human voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giuliana Kiersz <\/strong>is Berlin-based poet, playwright, artist and librettist, originally from Buenos Aires. Her work explores political and social issues re-inventing the forms in which we talk about violence, love, and trauma. Her work has won first place in the X German Rozenmacher Prize; third prize in the 15th National Dramaturgy Competition; and Maison Antoine Vitez translation awards. Her texts have been translated into English, German, French, Portuguese, Bulgarian and Tsosil and published by Rara Avis Editorial, Libros del Rojas, Fondo Editorial ENSAD, Editorial INTeatro, Espejo Somos, Libros Drama and Solitude Editions \/ Archive Books and Editions Espaces 34. Her most recent work Your Language Is Lying to You has been co-published by Yale University and Duke University Press in Theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Osborn<\/strong> is a musician, writer, librettist, songwriter, composer and sound designer from Oxford, UK, now based in Berlin, Germany. Coming from a poetic folk song tradition, his work draws also from electronica and classical music, specialising in ethereal strings, complex electronic beats, dreamlike harmonies and expressive lyrics. In his songs, pieces and collaborative works, he seeks to create a space in which highly personal and deeply political stories can be told. Recent projects include sound designs for the Berlin Schaub\u00fchne and Dortmund Stadttheater, a song cycle for Tokyo\u2019s Bunkai Kaikan and an operatic dance installation for Tallinn\u2019s CPPM Manifestal Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
