New Kids Nitro with live interpreter
19 January 2012
On the 27e of January a special screening of the Eyeworks movie New Kids Nitro takes place.
The movie will be shown with a live interpreter present to translate the movie for the deaf and hard of hearing. To realise this special event, a group of interpreters had to come up with new words for the typical New Kids statements that made them famous in the Netherlands like "Koekwous", ˜BAM jonguh", ˜Verrekte mongol" and "Godnondeju!". These words didn't exist in sign language yet so they had to come up with new words and sign language combinations. Tickets are available at Pathé cinema.
