“Communication – Lack of Communication”
Kukai was also in Buenos Aires on August 22-24, to present “Komunikazioa-inkomunikazioa,” at the Sarmiento Theater. The show, inspired by Mikel Laboa’s perspective on the communication-in-communication dichotomy, was very well received by the audience and the local papers also published very positive reviews of the show.
