LISTEN TO MY HANDS

Met Unmute Dance Theatre
As jong leerder in ’n skool vir dowes is Andile Vellem se hande tydens liplees-lesse vasgemaak om te verhoed dat hy gebaretaal gebruik. Eers onlangs het gebaretaal Suid-Afrika se 12de amptelike taal geword. Hierdie uitsonderlike produksie gee vir ons insig in die wêreld van dowe mense terwyl dit ons stilweg meevoer deur beweging en gebare, alles geïnspireer deur die alfabet in ons hande.


When he was a boy in a school for the deaf, Andile Vellem’s hands were tied during lip-reading lessons to prevent him from using sign language. Only recently, sign language became South Africa’s 12th official language. This incredible production gives us insight into the world of the deaf while silently sweeping us away with beautiful movements and gestures, all inspired by the alphabet in our hands.
