Our protagonist is ‘an inspiration’, ‘so brave’, and tired of hearing about it. Still reeling from the news that she narrowly missed out on making the GB Paralympics team, she goes out for a run to clear her head. She contemplates what the future holds for her in a society so hostile towards the disabled, now that she’s failed to live up to its incessant expectation of being an inspiration.
Within Sight is poet Ellen Renton’s debut solo show. Based on her experience of living with albinism, Renton’s soft-spoken but hard hitting poetry dismantles ableism, inspiration porn, and the myth of the Paralympics. This multimedia piece uses film to give non-disabled audience members a sense of what it’s like to navigate the world with impaired vision.
All tickets are free, you just have to book.
