“…He must deny everything that makes NSL [Nepali Sign Language] particular to a time, place and community of practice. (p. 23) Some of the deaf youth performers have expressed similar frustrations despite repeated attempts to share with their parents the rich experience of their lives, the value of American Sign Language, the significance of their education, and the importance of belonging to a deaf community in which they discover a history and can participate in shaping their own futures together (Weber, 2007(Weber, , 2013Weber et al, 2023). In the case of immigrant parents with deaf children, such frustrations can arise from the co-existence of cultures pertaining to the family's origin, the expectations of Canadian cultures as defined by mostly white, English-speaking people, and deaf culture (Batamula, 2002).…”

In this paper, I provide an arts-based posthumanist cartography of a theatre play, Apple Time performed by deaf youth in Regina, Saskatchewan. This play was co-constructed by deaf youth performers, two deaf adults, a hearing teacher, and a hearing director. Apple Time premiered in Regina, Saskatchewan on June 2, 2018, and was remounted again at the Globe Theatre (Regina) in February 2019 and again at the SoundOff Festival in Edmonton, Alberta. The arts-based cartography examines intelligibility as a methodological problem as posited by Graif (2018), in which the actions of deaf children and youth often remain invisible due to the ontological position that perception of the world is predicated upon the ability to hear. Intelligibility as a methodological problem poses a challenge to the deficit perspective commonly held by families and service providers working with deaf children and youth (Glickman & Hall, 2019). The performers in this play were able to re-align audience perceptions through the presentation of their inner worlds and preoccupations, thereby making their multiple deaf worlds more intelligible.
