Art altering society

Horror Vacui

Theatre group Misfit - 2012-2014

Assigned by the Reinier van Arkel Mental health care institute, Boy Jonkergouw made two productions with people suffering from schizophrenia, autism or a severe bipolar disorder. Following dozens of hours of group conversations, Boy created, in close consultation with the actors, a performance in which they used their fears, daily life struggles and psychotic episodes as an inspiration for a play.
