Description A subversive performance about women, disability & fiction. Conceived by theatre designer, disability activist & Creative Australia inaugural fellowship recipient Gaelle Mellis, this extraordinary new work starts out from the portrayals of disabled women in 19th century literature & ends up at the most infamous intervention by a major recording artist with disability within popular culture. It’s personal, it’s political, it’s punk.
