Dancing in madness

The director Maiol Virgili and the scriptwriter and journalist Marta Espar are working on a documentary that will be called Bailar la locura (Dancing in Madness). It tells the story of three female contemporary dancers who spend a few days with three young women who have been diagnosed with mental diseases to reflect together on how they experience their treatment and recovery. A contemporary dance choreography has been developed from this experience to express this reflection through dance and to counteract the prejudices and stigma (and imposed isolation) often associated with these conditions.

A crowdfunding campaign has been launched on Verkami to raise funds to continue with the project. The financial support obtained will enable its promoters to continue working on the documentary and present it to television companies.
