A Alegoria da Caverna
By combining sign language and the spoken word, this project aims at inventing new scenic grammars to encourage the creation of more inclusive artistic languages. It seeks to develop a theatrical project with the deaf community that culminates in a performance for the community in general, where both the deaf and the hearing have equal access and can enjoy the performance in the same way.
/
The project also aims to dignify deaf artists, giving them equal access to artistic training and creation, to encourage society to recognise artists, regardless of whether they have a disability, and, finally, to sow the seeds for the creation of a theatre group with deaf performers for professionalisation, dignity and to find its social and cultural place.
Project supported under the 1st edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
