On Oct 11, 2022, we will present “Music for the Eyes” in our Flamboyan Theater in collaboration with Seña y Verbo: Teatro de Sordos!
Literally translated as “Sign and Word: Deaf Theater”, this one-of-a-kind artistic and educative project centers the experience of differently abled performers. In the manner of a small chamber ensemble, three Deaf actors and a Hearing director perform four short scenes inspired by musical pieces by some of the greatest composers that ever lived: Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Vivaldi. The actors, guided by the director, create a dialogue with the music, which transfer the essence of musical language into image and story.
Using a book of drawings in place of a musical score, the actors and director playfully explore the rhythm, punctuation, cadence, and spirit of music that can be seen as well as heard.
