This program is to let European handicapped people enjoy our classical performing art which is “Kyogen in Sign Language”.
This time we will play it in International Sign Language for the first time, in Italy where it was born in 1983, and in Paris, the capital of the theatre. We also take part in Festival Clin d’Oeil in Reims, where all kind of handicapped artists will gather together, and will make cultural exchange for further understandings.
