The Poetry of Madness

‘Madness’ is on our collective mind, in our art and etched on to our hearts. This show takes on that heightened state of existence and gives the lens of poetry over to the exploration of it. To an animated and engaged audience, a duo of performers shared stories, poetry pieces and perspectives on their own mental health journeys. The discussion afterwards quickly became chaotic, a cacophony of the loud and opinionated, but perhaps that is a suitable end to a show about the sounds and incessant chatter of our inner dialogue. Even the moments of humour invited introspection. Very brave performers indeed.
