About

Opera theatre about the meaning of madness. "I count. I count the dots on my sweater. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. And then I start again. One, two, three..." The production explores the boundaries of sanity and the internal world of those perceived as 'mad'. It is a collaborative effort involving multiple social and mental health organizations to bring a realistic and empathetic perspective to the stage. This staging is a co-production of Opera Theater Amsterdam and Opera Zuid, created in collaboration with Centrum de Brouwerij, Samen Sterk Zonder Stigma, Social Run, Beautiful Distress, and Mondriaan. It was supported by various cultural funds including the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds and the VandenEnde Foundation.
