Unknown Drawer: Who Are You?

In Morphology, Lisa Bufano, a bilateral below knee and finger amputee, uses mechanical sculpture, props and prosthetics to transform her body to discover its ‘natural’ movement.

Through performance, Lisa will explore themes such as the conspicuous nature of possessing a deformed body in public, achieving acceptance through merit, the universal human desire for comfort, lifestyle modifications inherent in living with prosthetics and the quest to evolve para-human abilities through technology.
