Tiphaine Girault spent time in Mermaid Theatre's loft space in April 2023 working on a new project called A Journey Home.

This project situates itself in a phonocentric society and works beyond sound to explore one’s experience of communication, multi-dimensionally. Communication forms one’s aesthetic value and relationships with the self, others and their environment. Communication is a reciprocal relationship and is a key theme throughout the project. The play’s aesthetic is a comic inspired background incorporating felted and shadow puppets.

This project situates itself among three foundational concepts: how language shapes one’s mind, world and foundation of communication and of sharing your lived experience with others (Myriam Montrat, 2018); how language is a action that can cross social boundaries forms connections between people, their environment and across time and space (Ruth Finnigan, 2002); And, lastly, how language reminds us, in every sentence, of our kinship with each other and this includes our relationship with the animate world (Robyn Kimmerer, 2013).

The principal creator is Tiphaine Girault, a deaf artist. As a deaf artist, whose home language is sign language -langue des signes québécoise, she chooses to work co-creatively with other artists who hear and, in particular, those do not know a sign language. Doing so, gains access to different sensory experiences that formed our different social and aesthetic values.
