Being Britney – Colette Goossens

Being Britney is a solo performance in which Colette Goossens plays a young woman who imagines herself to be the 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. Being Britney asks questions about psychosis and the care surrounding it. What is a psychosis really? Should we see a psychosis as an endpoint? Or can we better look at the rich thoughts and experiences that are hidden underneath?
