When the Walls Come Down
Dance//Novella
When The Walls Come Down is a thrilling new dance and Deaf theatre collaboration from Vancouver’s Dance//Novella, led by Racheal Prince and Brandon Lee Alley. Inspired by lead actor Caroline Hébert's life story, the performance sheds light on stereotypes and difficulties faced by many Deaf Canadians and tells a story of resilience and love. Performed in ASL with English voiceovers, and featuring animation created by Vancouver Film School students, this work shares an imaginative, thought-provoking journey that connects audience members to each other and possibly a community outside of their own.
Please note: When The Walls Come Down is performed in ASL with live English voice overs. The show does not include closed captioning. There are many elements that can still be enjoyed by a wide audience as the performance includes ASL, dance, video projection, visual vernacular and physical storytelling. ASL interpreters will be in attendance to help guests as they arrive and make their way to their seat. They will also translate the pre-show and post-show announcements.
Seats in the centre section, Rows C&D, have been reserved for Deaf and hard of hearing patrons. If you wish to book seats in this section, or have any other accessibility needs, kindly contact the Box Office at nrt@jccgv.bc.ca for assistance
