Saturday on Saint-Denis

Doll

On Saturday, as I was heading towards Saint-Denis I saw an unusually large crowd gathered in front of a building. At first I thought it was a protest of some kind, but as I got closer I realised it was a huge gathering of deaf people. It was rather odd walking past a whole group of people who were apparently silent apart from the rustling of clothes and handbags, except that it was oh so very noisy because they were all having deep and animated conversations with their faces, bodies and hands.

The theatre school on Saint-Denis was having an open day and I wandered in, peeked at scripts and students who were painting or making costumes, and left a haiku in the "haiku corner", which was really a sheet of brown paper taped to a wall.
