Aurélie Nahon, sign language interpreter for concerts: "One hour of performance requires over 200 hours of translation work"

Summary

Aurélie Nahon, co-founder of the association 10 Doigts en cavale, is a "chansigneuse" — a performer who translates songs into sign language for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences at music festivals. She describes the immense preparation required: a one-hour concert demands over 200 hours of translation work. The article follows her summer tour translating performances by metal band Resolve at Hellfest, Feu! Chatterton at La Nuit de l'Erdre, and upcoming rap shows by Orelsan and Bertox at Main Square Festival in Arras.
