Criptic arts: the acts
A searingly honest, bold, and gripping piece of theatre, bringing together performances from some of the UK’s most exciting disabled theatre makers and companies.
Join us inside the walls of a bustling but dysfunctional theatre, where the acts are hard at work on their latest productions: a solo show about love, joy, and cancer; a comedy about the ways neurodivergent people are expected to sell their stories for the stage; a multisensory meditation on isolation and moon landings; and a dynamic live art show about empowerment and agency.
In a landscape of intense time pressures, and shoestring budgets, the performers are overstretched and under-supported. Perhaps we need an artistic revolution?

“The set design displayed surreal artistic dimensions to reflect abstract self expression as each cast member metaphorically expanded on candid expressions experienced as a neurodivergent, tapping into internal conflict, self-critical natures & insecurities having to feel, act & be a certain way to get by within society.
