Communication is everywhere. It is a fundamental part of society, culture, and identity. It includes several different styles and modes. Regardless of these variations, communication remains the essence of how one expresses his or her needs, wishes, desires, wants, frustrations, emotions. So what happens when interlocutors no longer share the same communication mode? This project will analyze two methods of communication, storytelling through theatre and American Sign Language (ASL). Theatre provides a unique arena to share personal narrative. It incorporates the visual and auditory elements of storytelling, while creating an unusual bond between audience and actor. The use of Sign Language is implemented by less than 1% of the population in the United States. Despite this seemingly small population, users of ASL still have stories to share with the remaining 99% of communicators who do not share their language. This project gathers these stories and translates them into a more universal communication mode—theatre. Through interviews with various people in the Deaf community and the hearing world, this original work tells stories of identity and difference. Monologues of interviewees create a thread of stories woven together to express the narratives of unique individuals. Everyone has stories to convey and express; and it is these stories that connect the individual to the community. This work unites the Deaf and hearing communities by providing a mutually understood form of communication. Representing these narratives presents the audience with an opportunity to experience the “otherness of others”—others’ unique traits, qualities, quirks, abilities, talents.
