The Experimental Project: How to convey sign language through audio guides Screening video
This project started with the comment from a visually impaired person, “I wanted to know the sign movements.” This project consists of three parts; the discussion on whether it’s necessary to convey sign language via audio guides, the workshop in which visually impaired individuals and audio guide creators leaned sign language expressions and the screening. The screening showed the footage from the workshop and performance video of The Restaurant of Many Orders that was produced as a result of the workshop with accessibility support, followed by a feedback session.

【Monogatari Group☆Polan no Kai】
Founded in 2004, this company only performs works by Kenji Miyazawa. The members mainly plan, produce, and perform in the plays, and while continuing to convey the message of “living” through Kenji’s works, they also engage in creative activities that value the process of taking on challenges. Since 2014, they have been performing with audio guides and stage explanations, and since 2019, they have been continuously producing and presenting projects that use “sign language,” “music,” and “narration” to allow everyone, including the hearing and visually impaired, to enjoy the works in the same space.
