Zoe McWhinny en Grace Giacubbo - Dreaming Hands
27 Nov - 28 Nov
How do you tell a story without spoken words? In Dreaming Hands, international deaf performers Zoe McWhinny and Grace Giacubbo demonstrate just how powerful and expressive sign language can be. During the No Limits Festival at Theater aan het Spui in The Hague, they will present a unique performance centred on movement, gestures and visual expression.
A unique performance featuring visual sign language
Especially for the No Limits Festival, the deaf performance artist Boaz Blume has put together a programme featuring international deaf artists. In short, fifteen-minute performances, the performers demonstrate how stories come to life without spoken language.
Dreaming Hands uses Visual Vernacular, an artistic form of sign language in which hand gestures, facial expressions and body movements combine to tell a story. This unique form of theatre demonstrates just how vivid and versatile communication without words can be.
The performance is part of the No Limits Festival in The Hague, where inclusion, accessibility and new forms of theatre take centre stage. The festival brings together theatre makers and visitors with and without disabilities and provides a platform for diverse perspectives and artistic talents.
Please note: if you attend two of the main evening performances on a festival night, it will unfortunately not be possible to see Dreaming Hands.
