Rha Goddess

What is Insanity? This 75-minute, multidisciplinary solo theater piece explores the mythology, stigma, fear and confusion surrounding mental illness. Using a stunning fusion of poetry, music and prose, Goddess brings us the story of Lowquesha- a vibrant young woman's all too common journey through the mental health system. In LOW, Goddess unflinchingly depicts the very human tragedy of mental illness in contemporary culture in a riveting portrayal that is furious, funny, dark and hopeful. Brilliantly staged and directed by Chay Yew, LOW offers up an equal dose of laughter, outrage and compassion - bitingly articulate and modulated for emotional power.
