The story of 10 Doigts en Cavale: music sign language goes mainstream
1) From an observation to the creation of 10 Doigts en Cavale
We saw that the art and music world was not, or very rarely, accessible to Deaf and hard of hearing audiences. So we decided to join forces to meet this need, by offering our services to sign concerts professionally.
Who are we? Périnne Diot and Aurélie Nahon, professional interpreters with a master's degree from ESIT (École Supérieure d'Interprètes et de Traducteurs) in French Sign Language / French, specialised in music sign language.
The team is currently made up of sign language interpreters / sign-song artists and Deaf artists, who share their skills and know-how to offer work of the highest quality.
2) Our growth:
Since 2019, 10 Doigts en Cavale has been signing more and more concerts, despite the 2020 health crisis.
During that year of pause for live events, we still made more than 17 music videos with artists to keep making music accessible.
After that, concerts started again and demand kept growing, with more than 64 signed concerts in France and French-speaking countries in 2024.
