Is it true that the ladies in the first link are blind and deaf?

"The most incredible thing about the performance is that all the dancers are deaf. They are members of the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe. None of them can hear the music - this makes their choreography a truly amazing achievement. The difficulties and challenges they encountered in training are beyond imagining."
From the link you posted, it would appear that they are only deaf. Still a fantastic achievement

They are deaf... not blind.

It is an awe-inspiring video. I watched it and was entranced.

Of course, you know that Guan Yin is what the Japanese call Kannon, whence comes Canon.

Ha, I knew the dance depicted Bodhisattva, but I didn't make the mental link from Guan Jin to Kwan'on (from whence Canon). Cool!
