When one loses the sense of hearing or sight, does humanity’s truth become more clear and honest? The Spanish painter Francisco de Goya – one of the forefathers of the modern art movement – created his most forthright and provocative works after turning profoundly deaf in mid-career. Two Deaf visual theatre artists, Willy Conley and Iosif Schneiderman, revisit their nonverbal, visual-gestural play – sans sign language and spoken English – with a new cast of Gallaudet University students to further explore the map of Goya’s psyche in search of his quinta del sordo.
