Thank you so much

00:00:05.230 --> 00:00:08.610 align:middle line:84%
Thank you all for
joining us tonight.

00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:15.360 align:middle line:84%
Thanks to Hannah, Laura,
and the commemorative moment

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:17.370 align:middle line:90%
that this is.

00:00:17.370 --> 00:00:23.040 align:middle line:84%
Thank you to Tyler, and Becka,
and Sarah for the introduction,

00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:28.680 align:middle line:84%
and many others whose labor may
not be visible to me, but also

00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:32.700 align:middle line:84%
are part of this moment
being what it is.

00:00:32.700 --> 00:00:37.350 align:middle line:84%
It's so beautiful to be
invited as a translator

00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:40.950 align:middle line:84%
because it's a big
part of what I do

00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:43.320 align:middle line:84%
and it's an important
part of what I do.

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:49.650 align:middle line:84%
And I-- in thinking
about the fact

00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:51.600 align:middle line:84%
that I was being
invited as a translator,

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.880 align:middle line:84%
I spent some time on
the airplane thinking

00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.680 align:middle line:90%
about translation.

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:01.440 align:middle line:90%
And what I did was--

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:04.950 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to give a
reading and the reading

00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:08.100 align:middle line:90%
is a translation of--

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:10.380 align:middle line:84%
So Sarah mentioned this
book "Mouth: Eats Color."

00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:13.390 align:middle line:84%
And it's-- There are a lot of
weird things going on in this

00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:13.890 align:middle line:90%
book.

00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:17.700 align:middle line:84%
And I decided to translate
the form of this book

00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.250 align:middle line:90%
into the performance of tonight.

00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:23.500 align:middle line:90%
So here we go.

00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:24.000 align:middle line:90%
