A workshop that is methodically experimented in terms of developing the five characters of the story and their inter-thematic relationship (a girl, a woman, a brain, a priest & a narrator). We will work with inner images, associations, movements, body sensations in order to uncover and articulate the characters' inner lives and relationships & the overall theme (s) of the story. The view will be a presentation of the outcome of the workshop.

We are working towards a text that can turn into a performance that can be experienced as an inner psychic landscape. In the process, we are driven by the fact that the final performance must embrace two sides of the same case: the performance is both a critical commentary on the psychiatric system, its view of man, its rationality and its invalidation, and a piece of living philosophy that critically and wonderingly asks: What is a human being? If the performance arouses the audience's longing for something other than the status quo the intention succeeds!

Julie Johanne Kirkegaard is the playwright behind the story and Anders Thingmand is both facilitator of the creative process (at this workshop), but also general inspirer and sharp-thinking muse.
