B.L.I.P.S.
Brief Limited Intermittent Psychotic Symptoms.
A peak through the beautiful lens of bat s**t crazy.
Have you ever counted blades of grass? Or imagined the feeling of flying? Have you ever thought you were Jesus incarnate?
At age 19 Margot Mansfield began experiencing this and more. A touching retelling of one families struggle to untangle the mysteries of mental health, told through beautiful imagery and circus virtuosity.
A debut solo circus show like no other, a wild ride of real life circus psychosis, acrobatic madness, hula hoop hope and radical resilience.
Directed by acclaimed, multi-award winning circus artist and theatre maker Jess Love, this ground breaking new work is heartfelt, brave and utterly brilliant.
Presented by: Margot Mansfield
