Led by Dalibor Šandor, a Serbian learning disabled performer and director, We Are Not Monsters is a powerful performance commissioned through Europe Beyond Access that challenges the marginalisation and discrimination experienced by disabled people in society.
Made with support from renowned French choreographer Xavier le Roy, dramaturg Marcel Bugiel and a team of creatives (full list below), this performance emerged from Šandor’s love of the horror genre as well as an urgent need to address the social exclusion of disabled people and misunderstandings about disability.
A unique piece of theatre presented amongst the historic paintings of an art gallery (its premiere took place in Gallery of Matica Srpska, Novi Sad).
