Abstract [en]

Am I Human? challenges societal and performative norms surrounding disability and interrogates the boundaries of humanity. By using live performance methods to foreground lived experiences, Am I Human?  initiates critical discussions about identity, agency, and embodiment, recognizing the disabled body as performative and inviting audiences to confront biases and advocate for inclusivity. Asking, “What can be discovered about disabled and identity performativity in relation to how identity is constructed, revealed, and expressed?”, the project explores the intersection of disability, identity, and performance, highlighting an individual’s agency in shaping alternative narratives. Am I Human?  will contribute to discussions on emerging technologies' ethical implications and the disabled’s potential for resistance and innovation. Methods involve performance tools and techniques, media and performance analysis, engagement with post humanist discourse, and academic writing, thereby situating the work within performative and media-based practices. Objectives include challenging normative perceptions of identity, amplifying marginalized voices, and contributing insights into the performativity of identity from a hidden disability perspective. Structured into four phases, including explorations of scenography, the role of the disabled body, bodily augmentations, and materiality, it culminates in a presentation of findings realized as a series of opera scenes. Documentation and exposition will address ethical issues such as dignity, representation, informed consent, and intersectionality. Am I Human?  contributes to wider discussions on disability rights, social justice, and the ethical implications of emerging technologies.
