Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas - Fringe 2023 Long-COVID, Zombies, and Crip Prophecies

Take one top academic, some dangerous ideas, add one comedian and it’s the force of nature that is the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CODI).

Hosted by comedian Susan Morrison, and now in its eleventh year, CODI is sixty minutes of rapid-fire research from some of the finest minds in the country.

What do disabled people have to tell us about how society is changing (or how it should change) because of long-COVID?              

A disabled philosopher Dr Élaina Gauthier-Mamaril (The University of Edinburgh) will delight you with a tale of zombies, aka people who survived the apocalypse in the "wrong" way, who rebuild a society using the wisdom of crip and disabled communities. As long-COVID continues to disable millions of people, we should all be asking ourselves what it means to be neighbours, co-workers, and a community.
