Self Help explores mental health
through the lens of a relationship between a therapist and patient using
Movenglish® – a movement language in progress that directly corresponds to
English. The translation of spoken conversations is complemented by fragmented
and deconstructed phrases that represent what happens between the lines and
inside the mind, embodying a ceaseless yet hopeful striving toward balance
between thought and feeling, mind and body, self and other.

In PANOPTICON, while the red
hands of the performer are the ruler, the body of the performer represents
the human spirit, the constant fight to preserve the human instinct and
individual mind in a society where humans become increasingly mechanical,
interested in objects, numbers, controlled outcomes and statistical rules.

The Bread and Puppet Theater is
an internationally celebrated company that champions a visually rich,
street-theater brand of performance art filled with music, dance and
slapstick. Believing that theater is a basic necessity like bread, the
company frequently brings its work to the streets for those who may not
otherwise go to the theater. Its shows are political and spectacular, with
puppets often on stilts, wearing huge masks with expressive faces, singing,
dancing and playing music.
