Scenario format: Non-verbal
Duration: 1 hour
Number of players: 6 – 12, even numbers

As human beings we communicate, we share ideas, wishes and information with strangers and loved ones alike. We all learn one or more means of communicating with those we love in the first years of our lives. But when time, distance or force takes the means of communicating away from us we are left with the need to share but not the ability. How can we bridge this divide and rebuild a way of saying the most important things to those we love.

In this short, (almost) non-verbal and experimental scenario we will explore what emotions the loss of language can bring and how we through cooperation can find the words we have lost.
