Anne Sullivan was her teacher, companion, and lifelong confidante. Before the two became world-famous, they were a spirited student and an unwavering teacher—bound together by a radical learning process that went beyond conventional language.
A deaf actress and a hearing actress bring this extraordinary story to the stage through puppetry, physical theater, spoken language, and sign language. They explore different forms of communication, making sign language and Braille tangible through the senses, and thereby open up new perspectives on perception, language, and understanding. An intense, poetic theatrical experience about resilience, imagination, and the power to push boundaries.
