Revolt of the Deaf. Renewal. <\/em>is a performance that engages with communication, language, and accessibility through both its form and content. The premiere of the original version of Bunt G\u0142uchych took place at Zach\u0119ta in 2018. Seven years later, we return to it with a richer experience of co-creating events with the deaf\/Deaf community, developing projects, collaborating across different contexts, and taking on the challenges of working within art institutions and academic frameworks.<\/p>\n

The titular deaf\/Deaf rebellion is only one of the threads woven into the plot of this performance about the social significance of language. It refers to a historical event in 1988: the protest by students at Gallaudet University in Washington, which led to the appointment of the first deaf president of a higher education institution in history. The immediate inspiration for the performance, however, came from a different story: that of a Dutch artist, the daughter of Chinese immigrants, born in Europe and raised without the use of her parents\u2019 native language. The context of the performance is therefore broad, but the story of the protest at the university in Washington clearly carries a symbolic dimension. It is also the only story invoked in the project that has a happy ending.<\/p>\n

In the new version of the performance, the choir is made up of hearing and deaf\/Deaf participants. The involvement of a vocal-sign choir has the potential not only to become a new artistic proposition, but also to provide a basis for building an equal space within culture and for creating an inclusive artistic community founded on mutual understanding, respect for different needs, and agency. Accessibility is a structural part of the performance\u2019s form. Hearing actresses and one hard-of-hearing actress appear on stage. Spoken Polish and Polish Sign Language are both present.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Ch\u00f3r w Ruchu<\/strong> is a social, experimental, new choir with a history. For nine years, it developed alongside one of Warsaw\u2019s museums, creating musical performances, exhibition-related events, artistic interventions, soundtracks for films, and theatre productions. During that time, it collaborated with outstanding artists, including Sean Palmer, Zorka Wollny, Bogna Burska, Wojtek Blecharz, Dominik Strycharski, Ja\u015bmina W\u00f3jcik, Miko\u0142aj Trzaska, and Aleksandra Gryka. Through these projects, an inclusive community emerged, bringing together people seeking non-standard means of expression and wishing to continue working and creating together at the intersection of music, performance, visual art, and spatial practice. Ch\u00f3r w Ruchu was established at the beginning of 2024 as a grassroots, itinerant initiative, open to new activities and possibilities. Since then, it has carried out projects with Komuna Warszawa (Song of the Future. A Concert for a Building and Choir, dir. Grzegorz Laszuk), Zach\u0119ta \u2013 National Gallery of Art (Bunt G\u0142uchych. Renewal, dir. Bogna Burska), \u0141azienki Kr\u00f3lewskie (All Women\u2019s Victories, comp. Maria Ka), and Radio Kapita\u0142 (three cycles of Przesilenia, comp. Edka Jarz\u0105b, Halszka Soko\u0142owska, Olga Mys\u0142owska; choreography by Weronika Pelczy\u0144ska and Monika Jarosi\u0144ska).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
