You Sou
Embuscada (Portugal) and Meraki Theatre (USA) • Professional company
About the show
You Sou is a bilingual play by Embuscada (Portugal) and Meraki Theatre (USA), presented at temple as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The production transforms the language barrier into a stage for unlikely encounters — a delayed train reuniting strangers, a Duolingo lesson straining a relationship. It asks how much gets lost, twisted or buried as we try to bridge the gap between what we say and what we mean. Blending realism and surrealism, the play explores how relationships operate simultaneously in the literal and the emotional, in translation and in feeling. Suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A bilingual piece from companies in Portugal and the USA that finds comedy and heartache in the spaces between languages. If you have ever struggled to say exactly what you mean, this production will feel close to home.
