'If I Were To Say It In English' is a theatre piece by Thea Lungu, presented as part of Roundhouse Rising at the Roundhouse's Davey Studio. It follows Nathalie, who, failing to translate every emotion into English, recounts her experience as an immigrant to untangle her contradictory feelings towards her country. Blending Romanian and English, the words are fascinating, funny, and fierce, patching up wounds where the strongest emotions should sit. The show asks: where do you feel love, rage, or dor?
