That thing
"A beautiful, immersive and stark experience"
Quaere Living, 2023
That thing is an interdisciplinary performance that exposes the unseen reality of living with hidden disability. It combines large-scale projection, contemporary dance, live music, and autobiographical audio recordings to transport its audience to a candid world of living with chronic illness, in what has become an uncensored performance of truthfulness and vulnerability.
There is hardship behind grace, and pain behind happiness. Trauma behind laughter, and fight behind a smile. Invisible does not mean untrue; it simply means it can't be seen.
That thing was first commissioned by Dancin' Oxford with support from Pegasus Theatre.
