Vanessa Kamp's SPEAK ENGLISH to Debut in the US at the Cannonball Festival 2024
This 60-minute show blends dance, movement, and experimental sound, running September 20-22 in Philadelphia.
SPEAK ENGLISH, a 60-minute solo performance is debuting in the US at Cannonball as part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, is created by Vanessa Kamp, an artist based in Barcelona. The show, which draws from dance and movement, performance, devised theatre, experimental sound, and improvisation, is about finding the limits of cohesion and the making of meaning. Part fantasy, part comic, part drama, Kamp creates spaces with narratives that can disappear or be completely non-linear. The performance runs September 20-22, 2024 at Icebox.
