About the book:

In Lippetaal, her fifth one-woman show, Lizz explores a sensitive subject: the thin line between self-interest and selfishness. If one is suddenly in a position where one becomes responsible for another person, is one expected to sacrifice your own life in service of the other's? If the person in question is disabled, where does one's responsibility begin and end?

Nelda's parents are deaf. She is the only hearing person in the family and therefor the only sign language interpreter. This leads to a variety of funny, frustrating and hearbreaking situations. The title refers to the way in which hearing people communicate, and to the way deaf people are able to understand them. By reading their lips. This tour de force had filled theatres country-wide. The story is full of mystery, pathos, humor and wit. It is warm, earthy and surprising.
