KALEIDO

Sharing six intimate stories on depression and coping.

Kaleido Film Collective collaborate with devising company Feral Foxy Ladies to deliver six candid stories of depression and the ways we find to cope: from diving and sex to song.

Following a sold-out premiere at Camden People's Theatre in December, BALANCING ACTS returned for another sold-out 5-night run at VAULT Janurary 2017, before transferring to The Garage in Norwich on 14th July 2017. 

​

Based on six interviews with men and women who share their experiences of depression and ways of coping, BALANCING ACTS uses film, verbatim and physical performance to re-create their worlds, from a 61-year-old agoraphobic man to a 27-year-old deep sea diver.

The show aims to build a deeper emotional insight into the condition, to encourage new conversations and explore ways to deal with and potentially overcome it.

​

The company have also delivered film & performance workshops exploring mental health, find out more about these here.
