The Deaf & Hearing Ensemble present People of the Eye

A show about Deafness.
A show about family.

A beautiful mix of British Sign Language, spoken English, sign mime, movement, music, soundscapes and projection, People Of The Eye tells the story of two sisters, one Deaf and one Hearing, and their family.

The Deaf & Hearing Ensemble formed in 2013 - a group of D/deaf and hearing theatre makers who come together to tell each other stories; to explore the performative nature and beauty of sign language; and to pull together D/deaf and hearing audiences in a shared experience breaking down barriers on stage and off.

This is a work in progress showing and feedback will be invited after the event, along with time to network and socialise in the bar. (Bar opens 6.30pm, closes 11pm)

We are also holding a film screening fundraiser (to help fund our rehearsal period and our children's workshops) on Tuesday 7th April at Genesis Cinema, featuring British Sign Language films and performances, a creative auction, sign language booth and a fully stocked bar!
