Event Description
'maladjusted' engages audiences with powerful images and authentic voices weaving together three very personal narratives: A young teenager struggling with sadness over her friend’s suicide is misdiagnosed by her doctor; a young homeless man who is legitimately taking prescription meds gets thrown into dangerous circumstances by social workers, who are from within a mechanizing system, trying their best to help him; and finally, there is all of us, unable to adjust to the needs of a maladjusted mental health sector, who become potential agents for change.
'maladjusted' takes us on an intimate journey, builds up to a breathtaking crisis and then STOPS. Next, at this heightened moment of suspense, we are invited to engage with the characters from a safe, entertaining and creative space where anything is possible!
Directed and Joked by Vancouver’s veteran theatre maker David Diamond, and performed by a very talented cast of patients and caregivers who really know the mental health system. maladjusted is two and a half hours of riveting, ground-breaking and perspective altering forum theatre.
