BEING BRITNEY - Colette Goossens

An intense, physical, and musical performance in which mental vulnerability and psychosis are explored. A young woman imagines herself to be the pop icon Britney Spears. Britney experiences an acute psychosis. In an uncontrolled, associative, and wild way, she tries to solve the fundamental questions of her existence. BEING BRITNEY asks questions about psychosis and the care surrounding it. What is a psychosis really? Should we see it as an end point? Or can we better look at the rich thoughts and experiences hidden underneath? Through existing and new texts, pronounced physicality, and rhythm, Colette Goossens investigates how mental vulnerability can take an open form on stage without stigmatizing. > Free introduction by Matilde Casier (dramaturg) at 7:15 PM in KORF
