[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Christmas Carol meets Improvised Star Trek

[David Holt]

Improvised Star Trek has provided a short video which is being played at the beginning of A Klingon Christmas Carol.  Some of the actors from A Klingon Christmas Carol reciprocated by providing a different reading in Klingon to Improvised Star Trek.  Thus it is the "reciprocal" piece.  The two are not directly realted, just different things exchanged in a reciprocal manner.
The original English was composed by one of the cast members (Josh Zagoren who plays tImHom qa') for a performance art piece.  The translation is being read by Kevin Alves, the actor who plays SQuja'.  The original was translated in a group effort - mostly by qurgh with some assitance from Christopher Kidder and myself.  The version that was recorded for Improvised Star trek is slightly different, but I will post the original translation and you can find the alterations yourself.
