Description

Fàilte Gu BSL (Welcome to BSL) is an immersive showcase of Gaelic and Scots signed-songs celebrating different aspects of traditional culture. Combining stories, dance and signing with the songs, this show explores opportunities for d/Deaf people to own their space within Scottish culture. Evie presents a fun and accessible show which celebrates the relationship between Gaelic and BSL language, whilst exploring experiences of creative connection and isolation for diverse cultural Scots. Following a work originally commissioned for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2022. Performed in BSL with interpretation throughout.
