Using only their mother tongue the five artists will challenge each
other into collective action while trying to overcome language and
cultural differences. Their communication is handicapped by this
constraint - which means they will have to invent a new language based
on some common words, codes, the technical possibilities of streaming
and their bodies.

Will we choose to use more or even less rules? Will we need a leader
or continue without one? Maybe Ruth will become a leader naturally
because she is only one authorized to use English, the language
understood by all. What can we share? How can we position ourselves?
What kind of voice will be possible?
