The Broken Heart Healing Clinic

Performance

What can the theater offer when it seems that the heart is broken and the world has ended? Is it possible to “heal” with artistic practices? And if not, how can it provide support?

The Broken Heart Healing Clinic is an immersive chamber performance in which performers meet with participants and share self-made methods of emotional stabilization through stories, physical practices, sensory experiences, etc. The performance is constructed as a non-linear series of practices for a small number of visitors, taking place simultaneously in several  “stations”. In contrast to the medical realm, which aims to cure an illness, the Broken Heart Healing Clinic is about an artistic exploration of intimacy with the other person which focuses on personal ways of resilience and self-care in the scenographic setting of togetherness
