THE WRONG FELT works on multiple levels of translation and displacement of reality meanings to intricate the reading of current events in a tragicomedy of the Present. What could be the myth construction process of today? Myth is constructed through the reproduction of narratives, which become collective by their repetition. Today, we associate that construction to the work of media, although we know that, while accessing the information we don’t perceive it as mythological narrative but factual. The way information is transmitted reflects what is believed to be the articulation of contemporary thought. The words we use (or that become current) reveal our beliefs and the world we articulate. In a game of mirrors are created multiple devices that deploy the reality of presentation space (audience, performers, language, translation, movement) into “now” and “Present representation”. This creates a dramaturgical confusion, reflecting the way we perceive and translate current events. Here, two people are subject to language as a weapon.
