Take a look at Exxy, a new show from Dan Daw Creative Projects that has its world premiere today at Battersea Arts Centre.
In Exxy (Australian slang for “that’s expensive, mate”), Dan, a queer, crippled artist, transports the audience to the rural Australian outback where he grew up, working class and with very little, to explore the route of his imposter syndrome.
In this epic journey, the artist uses deeply personal experiences to tell his story on stage. Dan is joined by three performers who walk and talk like him, finding comfort and resilience in the possibility of finally blending in after a lifetime of standing out.
Exxy runs at BAC (London) from October 2-10 October before a UK tour.
The co-director is Sarah Blanc. Performers and collaborators are Sofía Valdiri, Tiiu Mortley and Joe Brown. Lighting designer is Nao Nagai. Set and costume design by Kat Heath. Video and creative caption design by Sarah Readman. The composer is Guy Connelly. Sound design by Lewis Gibson. Brian Lobel is the dramaturg.
