Mayfest: Give Me Your Love
- Artists
- Ridiculusmus
In their trilogy Give Me Your Love, Complicated Grief and The Eradication Of Schizophrenia In Western Lapland (all of which they bring to this year’s Mayfest), Ridiculusmus transform complex mental health issues into warm, witty, accessible performance. Engaging with some of our last taboos, this deeply human trilogy depicts the collision between psychiatry, psychology and the pharmaceutical industry, exploring the healing potential of altered states of consciousness. A clarion call for social inclusion.
Part one, Give Me Your Love:
Based on ground-breaking medical research and real-life war testimonies. Ex-soldier Zach has withdrawn into a cardboard box. His friend arrives offering recovery in the form of a capsule containing 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine with which he claims to have successfully treated his own post-traumatic stress.
Tobacco Factory Theatres, May 16, 8pm / May 17, 8pm / May 18, 6.30pm / May 19, 12pm. £15/£11. Ages 13+.
(Triple Bill ticket deal available for all three shows on one day, Sat 19 May, £30/£21)
