The Wound (A Ferida) is a dance piece that is part of the YEP 25 – Young Emergent Performers program and seeks to expose the pleasure of bodies that are invisible to society. It explores intimacy and seeks to touch the wound of exposing sexuality in disability. Vulnerability at the same time as the power that a non-standard body brings to the stage. It seeks to go beyond the conventional narratives of disability and bring the voice of the disabled person through their own experience.
