One person is interviewed as some kind of expert while another provides simultaneous interpretation into an entirely improvised sign language. The expert has to remember not to speak too fast for the interpreter to keep up.
Hold with care
- An invented sign language performed for comedy is a caricature of a real language that deaf people use; that is not what the source intends and it is worth deciding in advance whether the room will read it that way
