Weaving remarkable accounts of female hysteria of the 19th century and the controversial hypnosis treatment developed by Jean-Martin Charcot, She Only Barks at Night explores the dark misperceptions of the mind, and misconceptions of femininity, from the past to the present.
Contemporary performance theatre merges with installation, and exhibition to de- stabilise the audience’s mind. You’re transported from the street to Charcot’s theatre to a natural history museum. This production will change the way you see the built environment, museum curation and mental health in the 21st Century.
