Ghari Moves Without Permission is a powerful production that follows Ghari Constance Sorrell, a vibrant 30ish Black DeafBlind woman navigating life, love, and the challenges of a world not designed for her. Using ASL, Protactile Language, and her cane “Alice,” Ghari overcomes physical and societal barriers, while building her support system and fully embracing her intersectional identity. Created by Deaf Austin Theatre, the production masterfully blends ASL, Protactile language, movement, and sensory experiences, immersing audiences in Ghari's unique journey. The show challenges stereotypes about disability, celebrates individuality, and promotes vital representation for Black DeafBlind individuals. Through her deeply personal story, viewers are invited to broaden their perspectives, embrace diversity, and rethink societal norms. Following its premiere in Austin, the show will tour multiple cities across the U.S., raising awareness about the DeafBlind experience.
