ME, MY MOUTH AND I
8–9pm | Available to watch online until Nov 13
Watch a screening of the cutting-edge documentary about neurodiversity in the arts, Touretteshero: Me, My Mouth and I. This documentary follows artist, activist, and performer, Jess Thom, who has Tourette’s syndrome, as she takes on the biggest creative challenge of her life. In Me, My Mouth and I, Jess takes the audience on a funny and unpredictable journey of discovery into one of Samuel Beckett's most complex plays, Not I, and asks us to reconsider issues of representation and social exclusion. Warning: May contain strong language and content matter not suitable for all audiences. What a Blast!.
