Charity China Daily reports a benefit concert to aid the work of the Theatre of the Silence: "The theatre encourages participation by people who have impaired hearing and those that have full hearing, as the company believes that whether people can hear or not everyone has the right to enjoy and partake in arts activities. People who live in a silent environment should have the opportunity to enjoy arts such as theatre. The company's work embodies an alternative aesthetic based on the members' superb body movements, thus creating theatre pieces not only for the silent, but for all." An excellent cause, except the headline is somewhat politically incorrect: "Musical extravaganza falls on deaf ears" Excuse me, what?
