How To Be Well In A World That Is Sick?

​

Written, Created and performed by Bethan Dear

​

Shared as a work in progress at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival, 2019. A show about mental health.

​

This project is currently being further developed with support from the Arts Council Of Wales and The National Lottery. A finished version of this project is due to be created by Spring 2022, with the hope of touring the UK live, the following Summer/Autumn. 

​

Society. A patriarchal, image obsessed, capitalist, consumer machine. A global sickness. A worldwide epidemic. Where do we run? Where can we hide?

​

How do we get away when the over culture conditioning, has seeped into our very skin?

 

What then? Mental illness? Breakdown? Emotional instability? Burnout? Madness? Social exclusion?

​

How do we define what is cosnidered well or unwell? And who is given the voice to decide which is which?

​

Join me for a journey from start to finish. From the end, back to the beginning, and back again.

 

Many. Times. Over.
