Language: no broblem @ Battersea Arts Centre

Co-presented by Battersea Arts Centre and Shubbak Festival

Giving voice to spoken Palestinian Arabic as well as Hebrew, Dutch and English, Language: no broblem investigates the role of language in shaping our understanding of borders and displacement.

Weaving personal narrative with recordings of her family under occupation, artist Marah Haj Hussein combines breathtaking storytelling, audio and visuals to reveal the layered forms of domination a language can exert on another, causing it to continuously transform and alter.

‘Not just a performance, but a journey that invites introspection, provokes emotions and creates a much-needed dialogue.‘ Brusselse Wikijury

‘Marah Haj Hussein gives a brilliant demonstration of language as a weapon of oppression.’ Theaterkrant
