The Latvian Society of the Blind, in cooperation with the Lithuanian Telšiai District Administration and the Drama Theater of Žemaitė has made a 50-minute long film where blind and deaf people participate and reflect their inner world and talents.

During the project, an opportunity was created for blind and deaf people to express themselves artistically- show inner essence, experiences and life stories. On one stage, several people from Latvia and Lithuania were brought together who were brave enough to show their inner world to public. The aim of the project was to promote cooperation between blind and deaf people who are interested in theatrical art in the Lithuanian-Latvian border regions and to create mutual cooperation and inclusion of actors in the surrounding society.

As a result of this project- a professional team has made a film that shows this performance. As an added value, there are interviews with project participants. Viewers will be able to get to know each of the project participants more personally and will be able to know more of the participant’s life story.
