“Demonstrating the ability of the human body” **** The Guardian for GDIF

Nadenh grew up on a boat within the jungle of Cambodia. As a Disabled child he could swim before he could wheel. The first time he saw a RO-TES (Khmer for wagon)  was the moment he realised he could move with the land too.

Inspired by his Cambodian heritage Nadenh reimagines his wheelchair as a place that can support more than just his body.

With groundbreaking innovation in wheelchair design, the diverse creatives of Stopgap will invent a new world of bold movement and irresistible rhythms. Audiences are invited to revel and follow this joyful celebration that represents progress, community, and Nadenh’s journey with his RO-TES.

Expect a celebration that will surprise and delight audiences of all ages.
