Breathe In, Crossroad Arts

For breaking new ground in integrating multiple communication modes within the artistic process

A powerful site-specific work giving voice to themes and stories of survival, isolation, grief and courage drawn from performers Brenden Borellini and Georgia Cranko, both denied ‘the luxury of speech’ through lived experience of disability. Expanding out from their alternative communication needs, the production breaks new ground in artistically integrating multiple communication modes (signing, touch, palm-writing, text-keyboard, audio-describing, captioning, voice-over, movement) alongside original live music, oversized projections and compelling sound design. Breathe In is not so much a play which audiences passively observe, but a gripping sensory experience, giving unique and unflinching insight into the worlds of the artist/protagonists and, for many of its audience members, leaves their perception of living with disability powerfully, positively and permanently altered.
