Edinburgh International Festival: The Dan Daw Show at the Lyceum
30b Grindlay St, Edinburgh, EH3 9AX
Description
The Australian dancer fuses sexy choreography and touching theatricality to take a stand against ableism.
His whole life, the Australian disabled dancer Dan Daw has been told that he’s ‘brave’ or ‘an inspiration’. Now, he’s turning the spotlight inward, to find his own truth through a subject that holds the power to both challenge and liberate: kink.
This daring International Festival debut fuses sexy choreography and touching theatricality to take a stand against the disabling forces of society. Joined by collaborator Christopher Owen, Daw reclaims power through domination and submission – on his own terms. Through the lens of identity, kink becomes an act of defiance and radical self-acceptance in this hybrid work directed by Mark Maughan.
