Synesthesia
Synesthesia is an experimental art film following director Rita Corey’s experience living with bipolar 1. Immersed in the bizarre reality of her mind, it uses dance, visual storytelling and narration to explore topics of stigma and compassion.
"Synesthesia" (2024) is also a LuneAseas endeavor directed by Rita Corey, a two hour production which explores her experience with the triumphs and travails of bipolar disorder. The show involves 20 performers—ballet dancers, acrobats, break-dancers, and musicians—in a phantasmagoria through which Corey’s consciousness is traced through a troupe of “lunatics” who perform around her. Corey aims to characterize illness through movement; she provides an audience of peers an opening to celebrate themselves destigmatised, while she and her troupe challenge the broader public to share her experience through entertainment, drama, and humor.
