Abstract

The subject of the present research is the final stage of higher theatre education, namely, the process of staging an inclusive graduation performance by a group of deaf and hearing actors who use sign language and spoken language and interact as full stage partners. The article presents the analysis of some features of Russian sign language, its differences from cued speech, the process of collective translation of a drama text into the Russian sign language, the search for its visual and artistic expression on stage, and the audience’s perception of performance in sign language. The authors focus on encouraging creative collaboration between actors during rehearsals and stage performance of Eugène Labiche’s vaudeville A Slap in the Farce (La Main Leste) and justifying the decision about performers using different languages. In addition, they give examples of individual artistic devices used in the performance for the most expressive interaction of deaf and hearing actors.
