Fish Dance When They Are Not Sleeping (Opera for the Deaf) is a compelling interdisciplinary opera performance based on the interaction between two cultures or worlds: those who use their voice and those who use gestures to communicate and create. It is a poetic, surreal vision of the underwater world of strange fish-like creatures that encounter a group of humanoid travelers from the future.
