This year’s Edinburgh Deaf Festival (EDF) will feature over 100 events including improve and street performance across this first weekend. The programme includes a performance from deaf Brazillian performers as part of the Sign Slam group. The group will use street performances on the Royal Mile to encourage interaction between hearing and deaf people. Throughout Sign Slam, audience members are encouraged to interact with the performers and to dictate which direction the performance goes. They will also be hosting their own show also called Sign Slam.
