Slavs and Tatars present their new lecture performance Hung Tongue as part of Scenes of (Un-)Translatability. Slavs and Tatars is an internationally renowned artist collective whose work focuses on the area east of the Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China, known as Eurasia.



Hung Tongue explores voice-over translation and what it tells us about the performativity of language. With a rich history in the former real socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, voice-over translation is often referred to as 'poor man's dubbing'.


From action films to audiobooks to news reports, Slavs and Tatars challenges us to rethink notions of respect and disrespect in relation to text, language and especially speaking about others.
