Not [ ] Enough
A new interdisciplinary theatrical work, currently in development.
Composed in ASL and English, this autobiographical epic poem recounts the captivating life story of Alberto Medero, who was born a CODA (child of Deaf adults) and grew up as the household interpreter. The performed work incorporates a dual track of both visual and aural storytelling, using multi-lingual poetry, dance, and incidental music composed with a Deaf audience in mind.
The Why Collective is honored to have received a $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the development of

“Existing in both the Deaf and hearing worlds all my life, I always knew there was power in silence. But as I began to develop my own identity as a CODA, I learned that in that silence was loud words.”
