Echo’s Bones

Overview

Echo’s Bones (2022) is a collaborative film-making project with autistic young people in North County Dublin, initiated in response to works by Samuel Beckett. Neither the film nor the following book are “about” Beckett or “about” autism. The project intends to work creatively with some of the features ofautistic language and communication (lists, word play,repetition, info dumps, wild humour) that can be pathologised as disordered, or in other filmic or literary contexts, valued asformally experimental and exciting.
