The Letters A and U
A story about language, family and identity. Performed live at the Unravel storytelling event in Shanghai, Jun 2018.
The was easily one of the most nerve-wracking evenings of my life. But I’m glad that these stories are now preserved somewhere in the ether.
Notes and corrections:
Despite what you may think you hear, there are no rude words in this video. All the same, it’s probably not suitable for work or kids.
The first time I use the word ‘Homogeneous’, I meant to say the opposite word ‘Diverse’. Whoops.
I know, I know, Hungarians aren’t Slavs.
Kabanos is a Polish pork sausage.
#JáTaké is Czech for #MeToo.
風穴先生 (Kazaana-Sensei) actually spoke great English. I used her to represent how the students sounded.
I mistakenly inserted the caption ‘Unraveled’, but the storytelling series is actually called ‘Unravel’. See www.unravelstorytelling.com.
