Chronic illness; systems of violence experienced by disabled children; collecting toys as a coping mechanism: A Fuzzy Yellow Spot is a collage of intertwined memories that amplifies the role of Visual Impairment in imagination, frustration, and grief. The performance navigates through altered states of consciousness, reaching deep levels of ancestral memory embodied in the form of poetry, songs, movement, installation and story telling. A Fuzzy Yellow Spot is part of the series “Memories of a disabled child: the real, the imaginary and the misunderstood”.
