Follow on Google News | Deaf West Theatre Presents "Sjalusi"Deaf West Theatre brings Norway’s Teater Manu to the U.S. with a black comedy performed in sign language.
By: Deaf West Theatre In order to make the production accessible to an American audience, Deaf West sent a team of ASL Masters to Norway to translate the play into an International Sign Language/American Sign Language hybrid. The actors will be voiced in English. “Most people don’t realize that not all sign languages are alike,” says Deaf West artistic director David J. Kurs. “Because of our facility with body language and non-manual expression, an area that deaf actors truly excel at, we’re able to learn other sign languages quickly. I’m grateful for opportunities for cross-cultural learning and exchange that allow us to expand our understanding of deaf people and their place in other cultures.” Sjalusi (“Jealousy”) End
