Music For Your Eyes
“Music for your eyes” was born from the dialogue between two worlds: the world of the silent images of the deaf and the seemingly intangible world of music, joined in a common language, the theater. As if it were a small chamber orchestra, three deaf actors and a hearing director interpret four small stories inspired by music from some of the greatest composers of all times: Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven and Mendelssohn.The actors, trough the director, strike up a conversation with the music, a dialogue that could seem impossible but that manages to translate the essence of the musical language into the language of images and puppetry. Aimed at children between 3 and 5 but enjoyed by the whole family, this play takes us to new worlds and fascinating stories, all without the use of spoken language.
