A Complete Read-Through of G
G is a sound. Phonetically, it is represented as [χ]—and corresponds to خ in the Arabic alphabet—a guttural resonance shared between Afrikaans and Persian. Poets Klara du Plessis and Khashayar “Kess” Mohammadi composed G collaboratively as an act of hospitality into their languages and now they will read through the entire translingual collection, activating the playful linguistic connections and shifts. Join them for a matinee performance, Saturday, 18 May, at articule (6282 St-Hubert, Montreal). Doors open at 230pm and the reading starts at 3pm. Books will be available at a discounted rate.
