Interpreter, playwright, and actor Haruka Ueda self-interprets between Japanese and English for this bilingual one-person show. In a near future where the rise of AI has eliminated arts-specialized interpretation work, an interpreter finds herself at the afterparty following her final gig, where she is assailed by memories of the past and anxieties from the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
