Love Is The Only Socially Acceptable Psychosis

Thirza Cuthand - Plains Cree - lives in Tkaronto (Toronto)

Alternating between live and recorded performance, this work presents the artist as a vessel for uncontrollable emotions as she connects her experiences of falling in love with her experiences of manic psychosis. Using ritualistic performance techniques practiced in the privacy of her living room during an early manic episode, she will construct a space of the magic and tragedy, of mixing love and mood disorders using household objects and video projection.
