After lots of consideration and idea processing I have decided upon having a performance focused on depression. This performance will be made up of facts and interview quotations and will detail different view points of this mental illness. I want to explore how far a person can go with depression before they feel the need to kill themselves or hurt themselves.
Suicide, Depression, Self-harm and Anxiety are some of the biggest problems in the first world at the moment with all ages feeling forms of these at some point in their lives.
I want my performance to raise more awareness of such a taboo subject within the theatre and get the message out there that you can talk to someone facing a mental illness, they are not monsters.
