For hearing-impaired
youth who have spent most of their years misunderstood and even ostracized,
Moscow's Theatre School for the Deaf is a haven. Here, they are able
to communicate using the colourful and intricate language of gesture.
"This gesture performance", according to one Professor, "is a very
image-rich language. It involves a selection, a search for new gestures
to convey ideas and words." The inspired youth detail their fears,
hopes and dreams upon discovering a new sense of themselves through
the theatre. |
