“It is myself I have never met, whose face is pasted on the underside of my mind”
At 4:48 am, they are sane. And at 6 am, they drift back into a state of psychosis, tormented by anguish, rejection, and profound loneliness. This hauntingly beautiful series of interconnected poems captures playwright Sarah Kane’s struggles with psychosis and her difficulty in making genuine human connections with the people around her. Directed and designed with elements of Japanese arts, this show curates stylized portrayals of real mental health struggles, inspired by the director’s own experiences with severe depression and other disorders.
Advisories: Suicidal ideation, mental illness, self-harm, profane language, and flashing lights.
