Being Britney - Colette Goossens

Being Britney is a fragile, extraordinary performance, intense, intimate, and small.\r\n\r\nBeing Britney raises questions about psychosis and the care surrounding it. What is a psychosis really? Should we view a psychosis as an endpoint? Or is it better to look at the rich thoughts and experiences hidden beneath it?\r\n\r\n\r\n\"I am Britney, \r\nBritney Spears.\r\nI am Britney Spears Ik I mean: \r\nI am Britney Spears\r\nI know..\r\nI know what it's like to be Britney because I am Britney. \r\nBritney Spears!\r\nReally.\r\nWhatever.\r\n\r\nBeing Britney is a solo performance in which Colette Goossens plays a young woman who imagines herself to be pop icon Britney Spears. Britney is experiencing an acute psychosis. In an uncontrolled, associative, and wild way, she tries to solve fundamental questions of her existence. She is in her bathroom, an intimate space where a world of hallucinations, delusions, and extreme emotions unfolds.\r\n\r\nGOOD COMPANY supports Colette for the development and distribution of Being Britney.\r\n\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\nConcept & performance Colette Goossens I Spelcoach Matilde Casier I Dramaturgie Simon Baetens I Scenografie Ruimtevaarders I Kostuum Katrien Baetslé I Geluid Seppe Vande Veire I Lichtontwerp Marjolien Cuypers I Techniek Ramses Van den Eede I Productieleiding Noor De Graaf I Producer detheatermaker I Co-production C-mine, De Studio and deAuteurs I Distribution GOOD COMPANY I In collaboration with NTGent, Leietheater, De Grote Post and De Steiger Menen I With the support of the Flemish government
