Get ready for Language City, an outdoor performance about the past, present, and future of New York — the world’s most linguistically diverse city.
The project is a collaboration between ELA and Gung Ho Projects, premiering at Little Island, Manhattan’s extraordinary new park, on August 14, 15, 17, and 18 at 6:30 pm (note no Friday performance).
All shows are free and no tickets are required.
The performance will feature text adapted from the book Language City as well as documentary film, live music, and poetry in some of the city’s more than 300 endangered, Indigenous, and minority languages, including Tibetan, Kuranko, Nahuatl, and Pontic Greek.
