Junk Ensemble

Performed in the atmospheric Sunbeam Bingo Hall in Blackpool Cork, the idea of the doppelgänger is played out, exploring themes of care and the beautiful banality of life. What happens when your double knocks on the door? How does the story of your life play out through a bingo game?

Brokentalkers present ‘The Mirror Stage,’ a powerful new theatre work created with and inspired by people who have lived through Psychosis.

Brokentalkers invited people with this lived experience to answer a simple question: “When you imagine a theatre show about psychosis, what do you see on stage?”. The answers are memories, and stories of startling clarity that have been woven together with movement, music, and arresting visual imagery to create a performance that attempts the impossible — to make the invisible visible, and the unspeakable speak.

The Mirror Stage attempts to understand what happens when the reality you inhabit no longer matches the reality everyone else agrees on.
