Sign-Language Karaoke

Forget the microphone and the fear of hitting a wrong note, as your hands and expressions become the melody. By signing along to the beat, you get to experience music through a powerful, visual, and entirely new medium. It is an inclusive and rhythmic way to connect with others while breaking away from your usual weekend routine.

Join us on Saturday, January 16, 2027, at the International Visual Theatre for a reimagined karaoke session. From 19:00 to 20:00, LSF translator Christelle Pépin will host a 'chansigne' event, where participants express songs through sign language rather than singing aloud. By following a video, you will use your hands, body, and facial expressions to convey the lyrics, ensuring that there is no pressure regarding pitch or vocal performance.

This playful and visual activity is open to anyone aged 8 and up, encouraging a mixed audience to come together and explore rhythm in a new way. Without the need for microphones or sound systems, the focus remains entirely on movement and shared expression, making it a truly immersive experience for all involved.

Located at 7 Cité Chaptal, the event requires booking in advance. Pricing varies from 6€ to 14€, with full details available via the online ticketing platform. Come prepared to discover the power of sign singing in a welcoming atmosphere.
