The Allusionist

An entertainment show about how language works and why we should care.

Language is absolutely all over the place: falling out of our mouths, flowing into our ears, prancing in front of our eyes. We're so familiar with it, we don't need to give it a second thought... but we should. Because language is a huge, fascinating bowlful of chaos.

The Allusionist digs through the linguistic mess that humans have wrought, to examine how language works and why we use it the ways we do.
