Business Overview
× Experiential theater conducted in international sign language. This is an experiential play where you help an android in front of you while communicating directly with them in sign language. In South Korea, deaf people and sign language experts from 22 countries participated, while in Tokyo, listeners who do not know sign language participated. It was a new attempt to experience a story while communicating with both parties. Deaf people who use sign language as their first language planned, produced and performed. In the after-talk session, the participants shared how to create an experiential theater using sign language, the difficulties and possibilities of international sign language, their impressions of performing in the theater, and their challenges. The talk was archived for a week. Content created and provided by: International Language Lab. Planning and Production: Fumi Kikunaga, Eri Makihara, Eri Nasu, Yasuto Okumura, Shogo Nishiwaki Cast: Shogo Nishiwaki
