About

SICK! Festival: Claire Cunningham - Guide Gods

Location: Meeting House, University of Sussex

Claire is disabled. Is it the will of a higher power? Is she paying for the mistakes of a past life? Is it a test for her, or a punishment for her parents? Could she, should she, be healed? Is she welcomed by all faiths or will it all prove just too inaccessible? 

Using dance, live music, humour and interviews with religious leaders, academics, deaf and disabled people, Claire goes on a perilous quest to explore how the major world faiths view deafness and disability in this witty and illuminating show.

The performance is BSL interpreted.

Post-show discussion with Claire and members of the local faith community will follow the performance, reflecting on the complex relationship between disability and religion, and other issues raise by Claire’s performance.

Presented with Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts.
