AUDITION for FOLIE CIRCULAIRE

Content warning (may contain spoilers) Click to expandClick to close

Self harm, mental illness, abuse

We are looking for a cast to consecrate this week 7 mainshow about psychosis, love, sacrifice and godhood!!

‘…but I am a blazon. I would be on fire so to know I am whole.’

This psychological tragicomedy balances the levity of farcical delusion with the ground shaking impact of psychosis on perceived reality, truth and what it means to love. Fluctuating between scenes in an imagined church council and Lynchian arguments behind curtains, we see the story of Anthony: a man circling between derealisation and disembodiment in the face of trauma. Folie Circulaire is a genre-challenging exploration of self-destruction which questions whether mental illness can ever exonerate abuse.
