DIVADLO DRAK a MIFD

The theatrical production for hearing and deaf audiences presents the life story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, who together found a way out of darkness and silence. The production is based on the book Via lucis by Jindra Jarošová. Helen Keller was a writer, activist, lecturer, and the first deaf-blind person to graduate from Harvard University, while Anne Sullivan was her life guide and friend. Two actresses, one deaf and the other hearing, show through physical theatre, visual elements, and Czech sign language how a blind and deaf girl learned to communicate. The performance introduces different communication options, sign language, and braille. The production was directed by Zoja Mikotová with dramaturgy by Jana Ondrušová. The script was written by Zoja Mikotová and Jana Ondrušová, and the cast features Veronika Slámová and Šárka Šildová. Puppet design and creation were done by Yumi Mráz Hayashi, music by Zdeněk Kluka, and artistic cooperation by Jiří Eliška and Jan Mikota. Lighting is handled by Josef Fiala, Bohumil Racek, and Václav Marian Šesták, and sound by Radka Kulichová and Linda Gottwaldová. Production is managed by Radka Kulichová, with photography and graphic design by Daniela Hyklová.
