Sub Titles Over

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

A multilingual one-woman show exploring democracy, state censorship, and the manipulative power of translatio. Set against the backdrop of the Catalan referendum for independence on the 1st of October 2017, the performance unfolds through the eyes of two young anti-fascist activists defending a polling station. As they await the arrival of Spanish police- who have been dispatched to shut down the referendum deemed 'illegal' by the Spanish government- tensions rise, and the narrative explores the real-time impact of state censorship and narrative control through subtitles. The play is performed in Catalan, with English captions.
