Back Float: A Very Hard of Hearing, d/Deaf-ish, Bluegrass-Forward Solo Show

Back Float: A Very Hard of Hearing, d/Deaf-ish, Bluegrass-Forward Solo Show *An official selection of the Spark Theatre Festival NYC Created and performed by Jo Brook, Back Float is a daring and deeply human solo show about an actor and musician navigating hearing loss and ultimately reclaiming her music and her voice. Blending folk and bluegrass music, auditory soundscape, and storytelling in both English and ASL, the piece lives in the charged in-between: between sound and silence, labels and lived experience, isolation and belonging. Intimate, inventive, and laugh-out-loud funny, Back Float charts one woman’s unapologetic reclamation of sound, memory, and identity.
