Living with one foot in madness, the distortions of reality, the fog that descends at certain moments. Unsettling amnesia. Absurd fears.

What Brings You Here?

An original piece created by the H2M Youth Devising Residency 2023/24 Ensemble

No matter how much you sleep, you’re exhausted. About the number of times you bump into something, or drop something, or trip over your own feet. The system within the system. A question within a question.

What Brings You Here? Was born from the idea that insanity and fear are what develop when faced with an overwhelming number of societal problems and the expectation that you, as an individual, need to solve them all. At once.  My fears are becoming more of me than I am becoming me.  My greatest fear is the fear of repetition. A system within a system.  A question within a question.  In an attempt to stay sane you find yourself holding on to one string after another, after another, after another, and still… your reality shifts to avoid something else and in the end, it’s just one big uncanny valley.
