How do you continue to value yourself when society doesn’t value you?


EXXY (Aussie slang for, ‘that’s expensive, mate’) takes us on an epic and tender journey back to where Dan Daw began – working class, with very little.

In a world premiere in our Grand Hall, join Dan: A Queer crippled artist on the rise, as he transports us to the Australian outback to talk about his imposter syndrome and fluctuating self-worth.

Told through a combination of remarkable stagecraft, movement and storytelling, EXXY propels Dan into the spotlight on an audacious and vulnerable quest to live in the world fearlessly.

Joined on stage by three performers who walk and talk like him, watch as Dan finds comfort in the possibility of finally blending in, after a lifetime of standing out.

A New Dimensions co-commission. Co-produced by Battersea Arts Centre.
