PSYCHOSIS

My work as a costume designer

A performance inspired by Sarah Kane's play "Psychosis 4.48," directed by Ignas Zalieckas and featuring Ukrainian actress MariIa Kyrychenko and Turkish actress Ezgi Bağ.

The story consists of different fragments of a young woman's night before her suicide. It shows the inner struggle between searching for meaning in her life and the constant and inevitable feelings of depression that loom. Throughout the play, she tries to write about her experience of illness to help herself and present its brutality to the world. It is the story of a young woman's death in a lonely night that represents the fact that stories like this cannot be normalized today and should be understood with more empathy and respect for one another.

This performance deals with the theme of normalizing abnormal aspects of life today. Specifically, it aims to explain the normalization of depression in today's world in two ways. Firstly, more and more people suffer from psychological disorders and illnesses. Secondly, most young people begin to romanticize illnesses out of a desire for attention or to become one of their role models. They tend to believe that OCD, depression, etc. are "cool" and can bring out a young person's authentic identity. This performance, through S. Kane's poetic text, will address the theme of normalizing the abnormal and the deeper social issues that arise from it.

I created the costumes for the play, as well as all marketing products.
