Dis-Cover: Disrupt Opening Night

A curated opening event featuring the premiere of ‘Uncouth’ by Moss Russell, a screening of ‘Let Go’ by Louise Bruton and the launch of exhibitions by Mimi Seery, Elena Horgan and Brendan Lonergan.

Followed by a panel discussion.

Uncouth – Moss Russell

Uncouth, a neurosparkly new play by Moss Russell, uses circus to explore the unspoken rules that shape social situations. The work examines how expectations of politeness and behaviour can feel like an impossible game where the rules are never explained.

Ever wished you could get everything so right you would never again be ghosted, ostracised or called rude for reasons you can’t understand? Join Moss Russell and Brian O’Mahony for an etiquette lesson like no other. We will take an absurd journey through the muddy world of human interactions.

(Spoiler alert: The real rudeness was ableism all along)

Uncouth is a new work commissioned by Disrupt Disability Arts Festival and funded through the Arts Councils of Ireland Commissions Award 2025.

Let Go – Louise Bruton

Let Go, a short film by Louise Bruton. When ex-best friends Orla and Meghan run into each other as adults, revisiting their past reminds us that while being disabled is hard, being a teenage girl is harder.

Let Go marks the directorial debut of arts journalist, writer, DJ, and disability rights activist Louise Bruton.
