“The hallucinations that are not accepted in life are acceptable in the theatre…and life is no longer a cycle of loneliness as seen in the eyes of ordinary people.” – Amalia Wong, theatre critic
In astrology, Neptune symbolises hallucination, redemption, disorder, and yearning, and represents all that is unrealistic and ambiguous. Its illusory nature can often lead to chaos.
Inspired by personal experiences and integrating interviews with psychotic individuals, the production team has created The Dress Looks Nice on You (also known as Neptune in Chinese), a performance with psychosis as its textual basis and a focus on sensory experiences. This play conveys the story of a new theatre director who gets to learn about the world of individuals suffering from psychosis through interviews with her partner and his psychotic mother and tries to create a theatrical production based on these experiences. However, the more she learns about psychosis, the more uncertain she is about whether this work is suitable to be staged…
Featuring an interweaving of reality and delusion, The Dress Looks Nice on You leads the audience into the auditory, mental and visual world of people with psychosis using a non-linear approach to sounds and images.
