Dan Daw returns to the Festival with his bold and triumphant dance-theatre workHow do you continue to value yourself when society doesn’t value you? EXXY (Australian slang for, ‘that’s expensive, mate’) takes us back to where queer, disabled artist Dan Daw began - working class, with very little.Dan returns to the Festival after last year’s The Dan Daw Show, this time joined by three extraordinary performers who move like him.
Together, they conjure up the tantalising possibility of blending in after a lifetime of standing out.
With raw honesty and scorching stagecraft, they ask what it costs to stay at the top of your game when you’ve always been made to feel on the outside.Visually provocative and threaded with humour, EXXY refuses to offer easy answers.
Instead, it invites us into the contradictions Dan Daw embodies: bold yet insecure, triumphant yet uncertain, longing for community, yet determined to be one of a kind.Before each performance there will be an Access Drop-In session.
