These talented performers reveal the unique landscape of the deaf, where silence is made of colors, perceptions and vibrations. Sign language and exceptional visual sensitivity overcome the absence of sound.From the interviews and performances, one realizes that deafness is not only a medical diagnosis but a cultural phenomenon as well. Emmanuelle Laborit, the actress, points out that sign language uses not only the hands, but also the face, the body and the surrounding space. She has worked in the theatre with hearing actors, an experience that enhanced both her own skills as well as the skills of the hearing actors. They learned to communicate more with their bodies and become less dependent on words for expression. Many hearing people have misconceptions about the deaf. Emmanuelle concludes "They think the deaf are unhappy but they're wrong ... we deaf people are chatterboxes and extremely high spirited. Perhaps because our past was filled with suffering, we want to forget and live.". 001356168 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001356168 546__ $$aEnglish. 001356168 650_0 $$aDeaf culture. 001356168 650_0 $$aDeaf$$xMeans of communication. 001356168 650_0 $$aDeafness$$xPsychological aspects. 001356168 650_0 $$aSign language. 001356168 655_0 $$aDocumentary. 001356168 7001_ $$aBezzola, Sylvana. 001356168 7102_ $$aRadiotelevisione della Svizzera italiana. 001356168 85640 $$zAccess restricted to subscribers.$$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1650512 001356168 901__ $$aASP1650512/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25681$$tbiblio 001356168 905__ $$uadmin 001356168 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356168$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356168 944__ $$a1785138$$z1003832108 001356168 945__ $$aNorth America 001356168 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356168 980__ $$aBIB 001356168 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356168 983__ $$aOnline
