me, My mouth & i

Me, My Mouth & I explores neuro-diversity in the arts through the work of Samuel Beckett from disabled performer Jess Thom's personal perspective. Jess is an artist and activist who also has Tourette's Syndrome. In this film, Jess takes us on a funny and unpredictable journey of discovery into one of Beckett's most complex plays and asks us to radically reconsider issues of disability, representation and social exclusion as she prepares to perform the role of Mouth in “Not I”, in front of a live theatre audience.
