  • Created and Performed by: Samsara

In 2017 Samsara rode her first mobility scooter. 6 scooters later she is still trying to find one that works.

In 'My Scoota Lyf' Samsara will introduce you to B1, Bluey, Snake, Darwin, Batman, and Cackles in a riotous journey involving golf courses, killer trams, swarming humanity, runaway trains, and the entrepreneurial skills of the underclasses. You will find out more than you ever wanted to know about this assistive technology and the adventures of those who ride them.

Mobility scooters mean freedom and a return to the human race for those who use them. Imagine riding something which is a cross between a horse and a car. The wind rushes through your hair (even at 1 degree celcius) and carrying the shopping home is easy as!

What do you do when you can't get them fixed though? How liberating is it to be dependent on an industry where cash isn't king and the only way to get anything is through that Great Australian Failure called the NDIS? And how often can YOU handle being told to slow down before you become the city's next mass murderer?

Join Samsara and learn how to get up close and personal with flooded street gutters, the local police, and impressive electricity bills. You will laugh and she may cry and her scoota tribe will watch on silently - probably laughing heartily somewhere deep in the electronics!
