Once upon a time there was a boy from down the road / He contracted meningitis at the age of two years old / His life had been ok but now little did he know / His hearing was to leave him and was due to change his world
A fully BSL-led hip-hop gig theatre show, Follow the Signs is performed through BSL, rap, spoken English, movement, and creative captioning, to be shared and celebrated by Deaf and hearing audiences together. It tells the story of acclaimed dancer and choreographer Chris Fonseca: from infanthood when he became Deaf after contracting meningitis, through a school system unable to value his differences, into teenage years where music and dance entered his life, to meeting Raffie Julien, a mixed-race Deaf woman who’s lived experience couldn’t be more different…or is it?
All performances will be in BSL, Spoken English, Rap and English Captions.
Presented by Fuse Theatre in association with Soho Theatre.
