Théâtre en langue des signes, théâtre de l’altérité ? Sourds, entendants et interculturalité autour de l’International Visual Theatre
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fondé en 1976, l’IVT (International Visual Theatre) se définit aujourd’hui comme un carrefour culturel, un espace d’échanges et de découvertes pour les sourds et les entendants. De la recherche d’une culture théâtrale et artistique propre aux sourds à sa diffusion dans l’espace public, de la réception de ses spectacles bilingues à l’entreprise d’enseignement de la langue des signes poursuivie par l’IVT nous proposons ici d’étudier les allers retours complexes entre les altérités croisées que représentent respectivement les identités sourdes et entendantes. Ainsi, à partir du regard d’un chercheur sourd et celui d’un chercheur entendant, nous reviendrons d’une part sur le rôle de l’IVT dans la (re)découverte de l’identité sourde à travers des modes d’expression tels que théâtre, danse et chorégraphie sourds, « chansigne » et « musique visuelle ». D’autre part, nous réfléchirons aux enjeux communs entre la salle de spectacle et les salles de classe, ces deux facettes visant à la promotion de la langue des signes et de la culture sourde auprès des entendants. Il s’agira donc d’analyser et d’exposer comment l’appropriation de « l’espace vide » (Brook, 1968) de la scène par les sourds en a fait un espace (inter)culturel où l’apprentissage d’autres langues et cultures passe par la découverte de soi au travers des autres.
 
 Sign Language Theatre, Theatre of the Other? Deaf, hearing and interculturality around the International Visual Theatre
 Founded in 1976, the IVT (International Visual Theatre) is today defined as a cultural crossroads, a place of exchanges and discoveries for deaf and hearing people. From the search of a theatrical and artistic culture specific to the deaf to its distribution in the public space, from the reception of its bilingual shows to the teaching of sign language pursued by the IVT, we propose here to study the complex back and forth relations between the mirrored otherness that deaf and hearing identities represent to each other. Thus, from the point of views of a deaf researcher and a hearing researcher, on the one hand, we will explore the role of the IVT in the (re)discovery of deaf identity through modes of expression such as deaf theater, dance and choreography, “chansigne” and “visual music”. On the other hand, we will reflect on common issues between the stage and the classroom, these two facets aiming at promoting sign language and deaf culture among the hearing. We will then analyze and explain how the appropriation of the “empty space” (Brook, 1968) provided by the stage has turned it into a (inter) cultural space where learning other languages and cultures implies self-discovery through others.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
