Description Working with the Artistic Directors of Ridiculusmus over the last four years the DSP has evolved into a robust ensemble of four Melbourne based artists with different physical abilities – Jess Kapuscinski-Evans, Eva Sifis, Trevor Dunn and Betty Bobbitt. Turning access driven attention to theatre, stories and representation, their work explores fetishisation, exploitation, empowerment and the complexity of polyphonic discourse.

Examining the right to begin and end life from the perspective of the disability sector. The show tackles issues of euthanasia, sex, abortion and IVF through an absurdist comedy lens.
