Qualia : ORIGINAL (stage play and short film)
A public psych ward; it’s confronting. People are trying to navigate trauma, confined and imprisoned in an equally traumatising medical space. How do you communicate, if you don’t speak the language of a psychiatric ward and it doesn’t speak yours? What if you're in a wheelchair or from a culturally diverse background?
Through humour, storytelling and living experience, Qualia brings to light the complexities of this space and the people within it.
Artistic Director:
Heidi Everett.
Performers:
Jessica Cochran (2019-21), Xavier Guault (2020), Hadley Johnson (2020), Maggie Toko (film), Andrew Lewis (2021).
