Do You Understand Me Now? is a solo theatrical performance exploring the intersections of language, gender, and generational distance. Using recordings and projections alongside live performance, the piece is presented in three languages: French, Japanese, and English.
In the work, Karter attempts to hold conversations with their two grandmothers — one Japanese and one French-Canadian — by speaking in their mother tongues despite not being fluent in either. Through these imagined dialogues, the performer tries to explain their identity as a trans/non-binary person.
This piece was made in collaboration with Amélia Simmard, Davey Samuel Calderon and June Fukumura.
Please be advised that ticket purchases are subject to a payment processing fee and service fee charged by Eventbrite.
