Unfolding Me

Overview

In three sleepless nights, Henrietta experiences a psychotic crisis, in which her self becomes detached from her body. We do not speak of madness, but of a situation out of control. In three acts, the denial of self, the immobility of the body and the mind-body separation are addressed through visual metaphors. These sensations conclude in Henrietta's delirium: the outside and inside of her house are mixed, there are shadows that haunt her and she finally falls into a bottomless spiral.
