Homemade Alice In Wonderland Costumes
D rom on Thursday 22 January at the Teatro Solís de Montevideo, deaf people can participate in performances of "The English Lover" by Marguerite Duras. For the first time in Uruguay, the work will be simultaneously translated into sign language through a specially created device.
E l device consists of adding a monitor to one of the boxes, where deaf people see the interpreter translating the dialogue into sign language, while enjoying the work on stage. The monitor is connected to a camera located two floors below, closed circuit that emits the image of the interpreter who is doing the direct translation.
E l assistance device allows deaf people to nine function. In this first adaptation in addition to being hearing impaired viewers will share their opinion about the procedure, a view that is essential for a research process that aims to deepen this practice in the Solís Theatre and other theaters in the country.
E sta initiative is part of a series of actions that the Secretariat of the disability of the Municipality of Montevideo held in 2009, together with institutions and social organizations in order to generate processes of inclusion of persons with disabilities in society.
Tickets for "The English Lover" are free for deaf people, who should get them in the organizations that nucleate. The functions will be on Thursday 23, Friday 24 and Saturday January 25 at the time 21.30.
