Director’s Note

Queer theory exceeded feminist theory by calling out gender as a performance. My play uses this lens to ask if not notions of mind and mental disorders also are constructs? The play also uses playfulness as a tool to play with the normativity of theatre practices and offers a trans-queer vision to engage with themes of gender, sexuality, mental illness and theatre.
