About this listen

Patrick Gunasekera is a creator, performer and producer working across theatre, dance, music and writing. His art is driven by a heartfelt interest in change. The stories he creates often explore how systems of oppression are normalised by everyday people and what agency and power looks like from a marginalised perspective.

This interview profiles Patrick and his approach to his work as well as highlights the show he will premiere in November – a ballet adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s short story The Little Mermaid, from a queer, brown, disabled point of view.

To find out more about the show and to purchase tickets, go to The Blue Room Theatre website.
