Description Claire Cunningham undertakes a perilous quest to explore how the major world faiths view deafness and disability. 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? Guide Gods is a witty, warm and illuminating piece of dance theatre featuring live music and interviews with religious leaders, academics and deaf and disabled people.
