dóabin is a piece inspired by the peculiar story of Poto and Cabengo (Grace and Virginia Kennedy), the San Diego identical twins born in the 70's who invented their own language to communicate with each other. These girls grew up in a bubble of isolation experiencing only minimal contact with the outside world and were mostly raised by their grandmother, who spoke only German and who did not interact much with them. The girls soon developed their own communication and secret language, which combined fragments of English and German with some neologisms.

dóabin explores childhood imagination and genius through a lens of mystery and certain wonder. Through vocal play, nonsense syllables and lighthearted yet enigmatic instrumental textures, the piece seeks to delve into the idiosyncrasies of the construction of meaning and the perception of speech sounds as well as in the bizarre world of these two girls.
