#thesealeychallenge - I read #DeafRepublic by Ilya Kaminsky. Harrowing and close to the bone with current events. Its use of deafness to show how we turn away from the uncomfortable realities of war and injustice and also resistance to those injustices is exquisitely done.

One year ago today, I thought about the beginning of the Russian war on Ukraine with the help of Ilya Kaminsky. #111Words #IlyaKaminsky #Ukraine #DeafRepublic https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2022/02/from-pages-of-ilya-kaminskys-deaf.html

What a journey it’s been staging Ilya Kaminsky’s sensational #DeafRepublic ?! An honour to work with such exquisite poetry and create theatre that speaks so unwaveringly of the now. 🇺🇦
