VSA arts presents "Wings Are Given to
All" on Sunday, November 13, 2005 at 6 p.m. at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Millennium Stage. Nedoslov Theatre Company, comprised of deaf actors and graduates from Moscow's Institute for the Arts Drama
Department, will give a free performance of this acclaimed production based on
the novel, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The story about the life of a young
seagull striving to become a high-soaring flier is told through the creative
use of mime and dance and is accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences.
The Institute for the Arts provides professional training for young people
with disabilities in fine arts, music, and drama, bringing together students
from all over Russia and the former Soviet Union, and helping to breakdown
barriers in the arts. The mission of Nedoslov Theatre Company is to give
people with disabilities the opportunity to express themselves, presenting
their own interpretation of reality through plasticity and miming, and
building a bridge between the two worlds of people with and without
disabilities.
"We just want this world to become kinder, better and perhaps wiser. A
deaf actor feels simpler and purer; he feels lies and falsity more sharply.
The audience comes to our theatre to find out some things the actors who are
deaf have already discovered, that the world is more colorful," said Anna
Bashenkova, Artistic Director of Nedoslov Theatre Company.
Their work appeared in the film, Allen's Rule, which received the Audience
Prize at the Cinema Beyond Barriers International Film Festival. Nedoslov
Theatre Company also took part in the Podium International Festival in Moscow
in 2003.
President of VSA arts, Soula Antoniou said, "I was first introduced to
this talented cast in June, 2004 when they were featured at the International
VSA arts Festival here in Washington, D.C. It is a pleasure to bring them
back to Washington."
"Wings Are Given to All" is also coming to Gallaudet University's Model
Secondary School for the Deaf Theatre Malz on Monday, November 14 at 7:30 p.m.
The area performances are a part of a six-city North American tour,
coordinated by VSA arts of Texas in collaboration with VSA arts of Russia.
