‘Eurydice’ in Stereo, with English and American Sign Language

KQED Arts: How do you perform a play in English and American Sign Language simultaneously? Can that work? Yes.

"I’ve always felt American Sign Language is not only a beautiful language, but it’s inherently theatrical," said Lisa Mallette, executive artistic director for City Lights Theater Company in San Jose. "I'm one of those people that, if I'm at a conference and they have an interpreter off to the side, I can't take my eyes off of the interpreter."
