Shows
for people
with hearing impairment
Most
of the shows in the Mime Festival have little or no spoken text.
What you see with the eye is far more important than what can
be heard. Some of shows do have an important musical accompaniment,
but hearing loops are fitted in the theatres.
If you are hearing impaired, then we especially suggest the
following shows for you:
JEAN-BAPTISTE ANDRE at the Purcell
Room
NOLA RAE at Croydon Clocktower
and the Purcell Room
LES WITLOOF at the Corn Exchange
Newbury and the Purcell Room
STEPHEN MOTTRAM at the Purcell
Room
FAMILIE FLOEZ at the Purcell Room
TRICICLE at the Queen Elizabeth
Hall (N.B. there is a short 'voice-over' during a film as part
of the show (approx 5 mins), but this text will be available in
written form for you if you need it).
AKHE at the ICA
CAMILLE BOITEL at the ICA (N.B.
there is a short section of the show where he speaks gibberish!).
KITT JOHNSON at the ICA
MATHURIN BOLZE at Laban
CIRCUS SPACE CABARET Sun 30
January BSL interpreted performance
MOMENTUM at BAC (N.B. there is
a short voice-over of a poem, read in Greek, which will also be
available in written form).
LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS (film)
at the Ciné Lumiere has English sur-titles.
GECKO at BAC has a small amount of
text, like Taylors Dummies did if you saw their last show. This
will be available in written form.
LESS SUITABLE SHOWS:
Please note that Another Dream by Raimund Hoghe, contains
some spoken text, in English, read by Raimund, plus many songs
from the Sixties. There is an induction loop fitted in the theatre,
but some of the spoken text may be difficult to pick up.
Avoid the lecture-demonstration on the history of mime by Theatre
du Mouvement which is full of spoken text and will be performed
in French, making BSL interpreting impractical. Sorry!
If you want to double-check the suitability of any shows before
you commit to buying tickets and making your travel plans, please
do contact us and ask about any specific issues which will help
you to make your decision.
