How To Be Well in a World That is Sick?

Work:: How To Be Well in a World That is Sick? (S2079761660)

Stark, hopeful, bold and shot through with joy, Bethan shares her story. Embodying an exuberant and contagious freedom, she draws on her experiences of healing deep trauma from sexual and domestic violence. A visceral journey told through film projection, movement, clown and spoken word. A story of falling into darkness, fighting demons inside and out, of getting back up again, and re-finding the light. Western society; a patriarchal, image obsessed, capitalist, consumer machine. Daily acts of gender based sexual and domestic violence; A global sickness. A worldwide epidemic. And yet Society says; "Show us your pretty face and hide your ugly one!" So what can we do, when horrific things happen to us? Where can we go? To find healthy recognition? Who will hold us? Witness us? Listen to us? Help and support us? How can we re-write and reclaim our stories? Where is the space to take our 'ugly'? To share our pain, our grief, our trauma, our rage? Right here, on this stage?
