What if captions ‘step up,’ ‘speak with’ you, and ‘tell’ you about their stories? 💬💭💃🏽✌🏽:)

📌 [opera captions] focuses on captions that bring together accessibility, inner and imagined voices, and improvisation.
▶️ It’s a semi-fiction, semi-translation, semi-poetry, semi-film, semi-music, and semi-theater performance!
👋 It features captions as “an actor” interacting with and personified by bodily-diverse human beings: a collective of New York composer-performers thingNY and wonderful viewers-audiences.
🏮[opera captions] reimagines what captions can do beyond functioning as a speech conveyor and a sound interpreter in audiovisual media.
🧡 [opera captions] invites you to celebrate the lives of captions that have been both cherished and hated.
Accessibility/things to anticipate
• Captions will be the main performance elements. They will also be audible.
• There is no sound amplification, and the overall loudness will be moderate.
• A very small part of the performance features profanity.
• The DOT Theater is wheelchair accessible and fully compliant with ADA requirements.
