For the third time now, our annual events also include the Advent concert at Pauluskirche Halle/Saale. This year, not only is the program different from that of the concerts in Leipzig and Hamburg, but it also has a special theme that is very dear to our hearts: inclusion.
Together with Universitätsmedizin Halle, we have spent the last few months developing a concept for a hearing-accessible Advent concert. In doing so, we have delved deeper and deeper into an art form that is probably still new to many of you: deaf performance. And it is precisely for this that we have the pleasure of introducing Inna Shparber to you today. She is an extraordinary artist who lives and breathes this form of artistic expression. And she herself can best explain what that means exactly:
"I am a deaf performance artist from Berlin. In my performances, I combine music, sign language, and visual poetry to create new forms of expression and perception. Since 2021, I have been developing deaf performances for deaf and hearing audiences for various projects and events. While interpreting between spoken and sign languages is primarily about linguistic mediation that enables communication between hearing and deaf people, deaf performance describes an art form. Deaf artists use sign language as a creative expression of emotion, rhythm, and movement. Here, in addition to translation, the aesthetic and cultural impact is also in the foreground."
