Now I Am Become Deaf (Destroyer of Words)
With physical comedy, eccentric juggling, and absurd acts of balance; Ryan explores his own degenerative hearing loss as a celebratory source of play and invention.
Living between hearing society and Deaf Culture, whilst feeling a part of neither, he explores cultural boundary and personal identity through moments of chaos, sincerity, and total nonsense.
Immerse yourself in a world where the loudest actions are lost in translation, and the tiniest looks become deafening. A visual spectacle that tears down barriers, celebrates silence, and fires an ear-splitting laugh in the face of frustration – as this clown tears our world of language apart, just to say "hello!"
"A near lethal experience… Expect a lot of silliness"
"Just the right amount of obscure sense it, and gives us the enjoyable frisson of danger that circus is renowned for"
Tit for Tat Circus, Now I am Become Deaf (Destroyer of Words) is supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Just So Festival and Hat Fair.
