Over 200,000 people in Canada are deaf. For deaf francophones, Quebec Sign Language is essential to both their identity and their connection to the deaf community. In the past decades, parents and doctors have pushed for hearing aids, cochlear implants and a mainstream education for deaf kids. Yet this thrust into the hearing world has come at a price for some deaf students, who may have trouble following classroom activities and end up being marginalized.
The Dance of Words features young artists who have embraced their deaf identity in adulthood after spending a difficult childhood in the grey zone between hearing culture and deaf culture. These emerging artists show how they are using the arts to build a deaf culture that makes them proud. They shine a spotlight on their community while promoting and advancing deaf culture with a keen sensitivity.

Beaucoup de personnes croient qu'être sourd est un handicap, mais les personnages de ce film prouvent que c'est plutôt une richesse. Conviez-les élèves à analyser le film dans ce sens, à se questionner sur l'acceptation des différences dans leur propre milieu et à explorer activement l'univers des sourds en s'intéressant à leur langue comme à leur culture. Quelles initiatives peuvent-ils proposer pour améliorer l'intégration de ces personnes, le dialogue et le partage?
