Hearing Difference: The Third Ear in Experimental Deaf and Multicultural Theatre

Kanta Kochhar-Lindgren

Examines the crossover between hearing and deafness in experimental, Deaf, and multicultural theatre and illustrates how deeply we depend on perception for our sense of meaning. Focuses on how to convey the aesthetics of Deafness so that it can stand alone from a hearing bias. Devises a model of cross-sensory listening called ‘the third ear’ then charts it’s lineage from the mid-1800s to the 1960s including Denis Diderot and the National Theatre of the Deaf.
