Art Babayants is destabilizing dominant languages by creating new theatre vocabularies inspired by linguistic incomprehension. He invites mono-, bi-, and multilingual artists to co-create dramaturgical material through experimenting with and in various languages: verbal and non-verbal, spoken or written, known and unknown, living or dead. His goal is to introduce the concept of multilingual dramaturgy, i.e., dramaturgy that resists translation as its main tool, challenges the hegemony of dominant languages, and attempts to create multi-layered meanings intended for multilingual and multicultural audiences. Participants are encouraged to bring their own stories, monologues, poems, improv exercises, or work from any other genre (in any of the languages they speak or are currently learning) as the basis for further devising.

Art Babayants (Արտ Բաբայանց) is a multilingual artist-scholar who lives and works in what is now called Canada. His training combines the Stanislavski school of acting, Meyerhold's biomechanics, and Indian kalaripayattu. He has directed both musical and contemporary drama, as well as the multilingual performance In Sundry Languages (2015–2019), collectively devised by Toronto Laboratory Theatre and published as a script by Playwrights Canada (2019).

This scene from In Sundry Languages featuring Ahmed Moneka and Lavinia Salinas explores two levels of comprehension in which the monologue in Spanish expresses a contrasting message to the body language. Depending on whether they understand Spanish, audience members have different experiences of the same scene.
