FOLLOW THE SIGNS

Follow The Signs by Chris Fonseca and Harry Jardine with all original music by Yacoub Didi

“Once upon a time there was a boy from down the road
He contracted meningitis at the age of two years old
His life had been ok but now little did he know
His hearing was to leave him and was due to change his world”

24 September — 12 October, Soho House — Dean Street

A fully BSL-led hip-hop gig theatre show, Follow the Signs is performed through BSL, rap, spoken English, movement, and creative captioning, to be shared and celebrated by Deaf and hearing audiences together.

Chris is Deaf in a hearing world. Chris is Black on a racist island.

No code. No imprint. No escape.

But this is not a tragedy. This is a story of hope. This is a story about owning your identity.

A fully BSL-led hip-hop gig theatre show, Follow the Signs is performed through BSL, rap, spoken English, movement, and creative captioning, to be shared and celebrated by Deaf and hearing audiences together. It tells the story of acclaimed dancer and choreographer Chris Fonseca: from infanthood when he became Deaf after contracting meningitis, through a school system unable to value his differences, into teenage years where music and dance entered his life, to meeting Raffie Julien, a mixed-race Deaf woman who’s lived experience couldn’t be more different…or is it?
