Luxembourg theatre collective Independent Little Lies (ILL) will put on performances of 4.48 Psychosis at the Kulturfabrik in Esch-sur-Alzette on Friday 27 October (premiere) and Saturday 28 October 2023 (at 20:00 on both dates).
With this solo performance by Luxembourg actress, dancer and choreographer, Catherine Elsen, visually designed by artist Anne Lindner and directed by Sandy Artuso, ILL is bringing British playwright Sarah Kane's last work - 4.48 Psychosis - to the Kulturfabrik.
4.48 Psychosis is a powerful and intense exploration of the darkness and the light fighting inside the mind of the protagonist, an intense ride through their mental descent. The virtuosic and precise use of the language, the lyrical potency of this powerful text starkly contrasts with the main theme: the decline of the mental health of the dramatic "I". But as always in Sarah Kane's plays, there is hope - and, through the visual directing and a multifaceted performance, this production will explore the brightness hidden in this text.
This is a production by ILL in coproduction with the Kulturfabrik and opderschmelz (Dudelange) cultural centres.
