Performance project of artists with disabilities! Excerpts from Sins Invalid Come to Chicago! - April 11 to 13, 2014 - FREE ADMISSION





Excerpts from Sins Invalid Come to Chicago!

Live excerpts from Sins Invalid performances and the Sins Invalid film, an entryway into the absurdly taboo topic of sexuality and disability, manifesting a new paradigm of disability justice.

Bodies of Work, Access Living of Metropolitan Chicago and Victory Gardens Theater present...

There are three distinctive and unique events! Please read on for more details!
------------------------------
Sins Invalid is a disability justice based performance project of artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists. Since 2006, its performances have explored themes of sexuality, beauty, and the disabled body, impacting thousands through live performance. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, we develop and present provocative work where normative paradigms of "normal" and "sexy" are challenged, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities.
