J'ai pouss� des cris, beaucoup de cris. Parce que je voulais m'entendre et que les sons ne me revenaient pas.
Mes appels ne voulaient rien dire pour mes parents. C'�taient, disaient-ils, des cris aigus d'oiseau de mer. Alors, ils m'ont surnomm�e la mouette.
Et la mouette criait au-dessus d'un oc�an de bruits qu'elle n'entendait pas, avec la sensation d'�tre enferm�e derri�re une �norme porte, qu'elle ne pouvait pas ouvrir pour se faire comprendre des autres.

Lorsque Emmanuelle a sept ans, elle d�couvre la langue des signes. Le monde s'ouvre enfin. Elle devient une petite fille rieuse et "bavarde".
A l'adolescence pourtant, tout bascule. Aux d�sarrois de son �ge s'ajoute la r�volte de voir nier l'identit� des sourds. Emmanuelle ne peut plus concilier l'univers des entendants et le sien. Elle se referme, d�rive, se perd dans des exp�riences chaotiques. Mais, lucide et volontaire, elle r�agit et choisit de se battre : elle r�ussit � passer son bac, lutte pour faire reconna�tre les droits de trois millions de sourds fran�ais, puis s'impose magistralement au th��tre dans Les Enfants du silence .
Le Cri de la mouette est le t�moignage d'une jeune fille qui, � vingt-deux ans, a d�j� connu la solitude absolue, le doute et le d�sespoir, mais aussi le bonheur, la solidarit� et la gloire.
