This student
ensemble-created production is a nonverbal, visual exploration into the life
and art of world-renowned deaf artist Francisco de Goya. The play involves gestures,
pantomime, masquerade, dance, movement, projections, and visual effects to
discover the development of Goya’s hearing loss, and the impact his deafness may
have had on his life. The play was a 2008 finalist
winner in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Region II at
Carnegie Mellon University. It was written and directed by Willy Conley with Iosif
Schneiderman as mask maker, choreographer, and visual-gestural consultant.
