The live story-telling session of Kenji Miyazawa’s works with diverse artists including deaf performers, a blind violinist and narrators. Based on the first production last year, multiple elements have been improved. The music, sign language, narrator performance, audio guide, and subtitles have been all updated to incorporate feedback from last year’s audience. In addition to the sign performance, which are integrated in the work, advanced audience support initiatives were newly implemented; the animated subtitles with onomatopoeia -Polan no Kai’s original- and the performance script in modern kana syllabary (distributed in advance and at the venue). The real-time audio guide was provided for all performances. For the audio guide, we explored a question from last year’s performance, ‘How to translate sign movements into audio guides’, on the other project. The audio guides were provided after brush-up based on the feedback from the project.
