Seña y Verbo is a one of a kind artistic and educational
project in Latin America. Since its foundation, in 1993, Seña y Verbo
has achieved international recognition for its high-quality theatre and
for the impact it has had on Mexico’s Deaf community.
Our professional theater company, with Deaf and Hearing
actors, presents throughout the year plays for adults as well as for children.
In these plays, Mexican Sign Language is combined with spoken Spanish,
creating shows equally enjoyed by the Deaf and the Hearing.
In more than fifteen years of continuous work, Seña y Verbo has acquired an
impressive currícula, having produced ten plays, toured
Central América, Germany, Brazil, Austria, Venezuela, the United States
and Canada, in addition to frequent tours all throughout Mexico and
more than 1500 representations in Mexico City.
Due to our profile, one of Seña y Verbo’s main characteristics is that
we divide our work in two areas:
First and foremost, the artistic field, in which we are constantly
developing new productions. On the other
hand, given the fact that we make use of sign language as our most
important resource, we’ve also made a profound social impact among
the Hearing as well as the Deaf, shattering myths
and prejudice regarding the Deaf while actively promoting Deaf Culture
