The latest play by Roy Chen, a playwright and permanent author at the Gesher Theater in Jaffa, interprets the issues of psychiatric disorders that are still considered taboo even today in the form of an honest confession, creating a raw and humorous stage reality for its characters at the same time. The socially sensitive work gives an unshielded insight not only into the souls of the patients and doctors, but also of the parents.

The Israeli author’s work depicts the lives of young people with mental disorders at a psychiatric institute preparing to present their own theatrical performance led by the new educator, Miss Caroline.

The psycho-patron performance of the Maladype Theatre contributes to the knowledge of the healing processes of autognosis competencies - reintegration, rehabilitation, resocialization - through playing with the “theatre in the theatre” motif in an extremely complex way.
