Can humor establish a dialogue between different cultures and languages?
Is it actually possible to translate comedy?

To find out, we have Transquips, a multicultural and multilingual comedy show!

Using humor as an unbiased and inclusive platform, Transquips invites people to deliver a comedic performance in different languages, with a real-time translation.

Performers:
Tania Nathan (Manglish)
Fjolla and Fikrete (Albanian)
Irene and Yess (Spanish)
Vishnu and Ashwin (Telugu)

Transquips has featured performances in Russian, Macedonian, Japanese, Finnish, Taiwanese Mandarin, Telugu, and French, translated live into English. And it keeps expanding!

This project has been previously presented at Titanik gallery in Turku, ISCP New York, Taidekirppis in Helsinki, and online through www.transquips.net

In 2020, Transquips received support from Taike, Taiteen edistämiskeskus.
