The city studio of inclusive art Bely Vorobey (White Sparrow) has prepared a video version of the play "Words are not the main thing", which is available to everyone on the official NSTU Youtube channel.
The performance is a journey into the world of a little blind girl who learns to write in a secret script, becomes friends with her grandfather's cane, plays with her favorite elephant, dives with a whale in the ocean, and loves apples because they crunch. Relatives and friends help the main character to feel absolutely whole.
This story is a refutation of myths and stereotypes that a person with a disability cannot be happy.
