EXXY

Dan Daw, who provided a highlight at NO LIMITS in 2022 with “The Dan Daw Show”, takes the audience on a journey to the Australian outback. To the place where his life began – shaped by working-class roots and by having to make do with very little. He reflects on his journey as a queer, disabled artist and on what it means to hold one’s own in a society that repeatedly labels you as ‘different’. Together with three performers, Dan finds serenity in the possibility of finally being one of many – after having always stood out his whole life.

Visually provocative, emotionally fearless and full of humour, “EXXY” refuses to provide simple answers. Instead, the work explores the contradictions that Dan Daw embodies: courageous and insecure, triumphant and indecisive, with a desire for community and, at the same time, a need to remain unique.

Dan Daw Creative Projects is a company run by people with disabilities that plays a pioneering role in creating accessible international touring productions that blur the boundaries between theatre, dance and activism.

Through long-term partnerships and residency programmes, it advocates for systemic change within institutions and the industry to benefit deaf and disabled artists and their audiences.
