Under sunny, blue skies and the all-controlling gaze of the state apparatus you soon learn that if you don’t laugh you’ll only cry … This biting comic satire follows the travails of Connie a disabled welfare recipient struggling for the right to exist while navigating the paternalistic Australian social welfare system. Using stand-up comedy as a weapon for the oft-silenced voice of the other, Connie tells a story of survival bearing witness to the dehumanising regime that controls Australia’s underclass. |
