Linda (Constellation)
Date
March 2024
Location
Home, Manchester
WHAT IS THE SHOW?
Linda wants to live forever. She knows this isn’t possible but her plan is to tell a joke so good that she is at least remembered forever, but her epileptic seizures are getting in the way of that. She has another seizure in the middle of a set, heads to hospital, and does what she always does to recover – goes star gazing on the roof. But tonight is different, tonight she finally imagines herself as a constellation, and possibly finds a new way to live forever.
Linda (constellation) was commissioned for CRIPtic at Home, Manchester as part of Self & Other.
WHAT HAS IT STARTED?
This show is the beginning of a body of work exploring why, of the 88 official star constellations, none of them represent the story of a disabled person.
Over the next five years I aim to commission 88 disabled artists to crip the stories held in our star constellations, and produce a new body of work.
