Fat

T0190521235
FAT is the multi-media journey of a gay disabled man in search of his heart's desire. Combining innovative video projections and sound designs with bizarre and poignant anecdotes, FAT follows a queer wheelie in his surreal quest to find the fat man, eat some spaghetti and live happily ever after. By placing the sexuality of a disabled man at the heart of the story, FAT challenges mainstream views of beauty and sexual practice, and dispels the myth that disabled people are not sexual beings. FAT examines perceptions of communication and the right to communicate, and employs numerous audio-visual techniques to convey the text of Edwards, a performer with a differing speech pattern.
