Programme Description

A visceral visualisation of sound inspired by the personal stories of Deaf survivors of the atomic bomb
 

Scored in Silence is an exquisite, digital solo sign language performance by London-based Deaf Japanese artist and choreographer Chisato Minamimura. Through a breathtaking combination of signing, mime, projected 3D animation, video footage, sounds and vibration, the performance unpacks the hidden, personal perspectives of the small number of Deaf people who survived the horrors of the atomic bomb atrocity in Japan in 1945.

Presenting excerpts of original recorded interviews of elderly Deaf people with lived experiences of Hiroshima, Scored in Silence is an imaginative piece of documentary theatre that brings to life the haunting untold narratives of this doubly stigmatised group of hibakusha – those affected by the bomb. Touching upon the atrocity of the event and its aftermath, the piece reveals the devastating layers of discrimination experienced by these isolated members of Japanese society.

Minamimura’s beautifully expressive interaction with the video footages and Holo-gauze screen animations create a powerful visualisation of sound and silent horror. Accessible and meaningful for Deaf, hearing-impaired and general audiences, Scored in Silence gives voice to those who are disenfranchised, and offers audiences insight into how Deaf people perceive the world around them.

Scored in Silence is performed in Hong Kong Sign Language with English and Chinese Surtitles, Optional Woojer vibration straps offer a physical experience of the soundtrack.
