A performer tells a deeply personal, true story about their own struggle with mental health, in front of a live audience… This could describe any number of performances created over the past decade, a time in which we have become increasingly open to the idea of talking about our mental health. But how do you share very personal mental health experiences with an audience without putting your own mental health at risk?
