4:48 PSYKOSE
TicketsHow does reality look from a psychotic person’s point of view? Come inside – you will experience this now. You will meet a woman, in her reality, in her world where the distinction between truth and illusion is blurred.
4:48 PSYKOSE (Psychosis) in British playwright Sarah Kane’s most iconic manuscript. Shortly after its completion, she committed suicide, in 1999. She was 28 years old. The text has later been interpreted as her personal goodbye to life. Now the text undergoes a new examination by Glad Teater and their unique ensemble of professional actors with impairments.
You are let into a woman’s reality – into her dualistic world in which everyday life collides with her psyche’s untamable imagination. The actors’ voices, movements, and touches are recorded, distorted, magnified, multiplied, disrupted, destroyed. A sound universe is composed live on stage splitting the woman into a wildly growing symphony of voices.
Every night at 4:48 the woman wakes up in the dark. She wishes to connect to her feelings, feel like a whole person – instead she feels sickened, medicated and pushed aside as the outsider. The woman is slowly losing herself and tries to hold on through hallucinations. You follow her fight for life in a world that has become meaningless. A journey through body, blood, flesh, grotesque humour, screaming, poetry, desperation and hope. Towards the end or the beginning?
