It makes reference to our ability to explore the emotions of another person. A distinctive feature that dwells in the house of Thalia (Θάλεια); the theatre. On the stage, since classical Greece, the human being has appreciated the theatrical experience as an opportunity to listen, understand and connect himself/herself to other perspectives and realities.The catharsis emanated from the dramatic art (community and inclusive leisure, mirror of reality) produces the secretion of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that reacts similarly when the individual develops tasks that the human brain perceives as pleasant activities.What happens when that comprehension and listening does not occur simultaneously? The result is that the secretion of dopamine diminishes significantly.In words of the hearing-impaired pedagogue F. Kruse (1992:147):“ (…)Ich wurde zu einem ewigen Wesen ruhig verurteilt,(…)”Hearing impairment could be strictly connected, nowadays, to a form of invisibility, a type of social exclusion initiated by the victim itself. Would not it be marvellous to connect the comprehension of the hearing-impaired community and the magic of dramatic art through the careful listening of the hands, of the corporal dialogue and the language of silence?
