Welcome to the Different Worlds of Different Light! Welcome to the worlds of each performer, and the worlds of disability performance in Brazil, Greece, Norway, Russia, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The performance interweaves myths of origins and myths of ability and disability with Greek mythology and unique perspectives of why and how we make theatre and the beauty, challenges, and joy of disability theatre.

Some people say Different Light was born in Ōtautahi. Some people say Different Light was born in Christchurch.

Some people say autism was born out of Tylenol. Some people say autism was born out of Paracetamol.

Some people say we were born to be alive!
