I invited 8 people from all over the world to meet and talk to one another in their own languages. This was an experiment in seeing how people relate, connect and understand each other when they are different linguistically and culturally. The results were remarkable. Participants: Anna Kern, Lalaina Rakotomalala, Ismail Asaad, Heeyoun Keum, Jainabou Kebbeh, Dina Wyler, Maya Kelly Concept, film and edit by Rebecca Lloyd-Jones New York, NY, 2019

Performed by Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and Julia Cavagna Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance November, 2015 This is an excerpt, and the entire piece is 1 hr long. There is no recipe for anything, especially for relating or life. How do we build and experience connections with all of our complexities? Connecting can be difficult. Awkward. Sometimes, the simplest things are the hardest to do. What we want in life may be simple, yet we make it complicated. We say one thing, and we do another. We create relationships, and we contradict ourselves. "Behind the language" is a performance about how we relate to one another. It is about 2 people relating to the world, to each other, and to the audience, and yet it is difficult because of their patterns, differences, history, contradictions, criticisms and expectations. This work is supported by Open Call 2015, and it is a partnership project between Pepatian and BAAD! funded by the Jerome Foundation, and, in part, by public funds from the New York State Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, public funds from the Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program and the generosity of individuals who have donated to Pepatian.
