The directorial approach is outlined in the research paper, including the adaptation of source material from the publication Living Hyphen, the influence of plurilingual performance practice, and the consideration of translanguaging as methodology for performance creation. The journal excerpts reflect on the discoveries, accomplishments, and challenges the director, her collaborators, and the performers faced in a process that called upon new working relationships with language, space, and time in theatre-making, while also facing the COVID-19 pandemic. The epilogue highlights key learnings through the lens of plurilingual performance practice as it relates to the representation of transnational identities in theatre.
