Mental health theatre: can we stage life? “Is my brain just tired?”

We turn a mental health lecture into MENTAL HEALTH THEATRE.

It is an unscripted psychology lecture in which psychologist and actress Rita Rätsepp puts the topic on the table and opens it up. The situations are set up and played out by actors Merilin Kirbits and Maarius Pärn from the IMPEERIUM improv theatre.

THIRD LECTURE-PERFORMANCE: “Is my brain just tired?” Mental overload, stress and recovery. Does a holiday on a smartphone count as rest for our mind?

How many times can we change a situation, and how does that change our life? Can we only be actors in our own lives, or can we also be directors?

The audience can be a passive observer, or an active co-thinker who steers the situations.

By talking, unpicking and playing things through, we look for answers and learn as bystanders.
