4.48 Psychosis will be performed by The
Chicken's Still Dancing at Greyfriars Kirk House
between 24-30 Aug 2004. "The
Chicken's Still Dancing Theatre Company divide
Kane's text into four voices to physicalise the
distorted relationship between body and mind.
Three seemingly distinct people face an impassive
doctor figure, whose clinical truths explain
nothing. In the struggle to become one, the
ultimate solution becomes ever more clear. Kane's
characteristic dark humour combined with a biting
clarity serves only to make this play more
poignant."
The Chicken's Still Dancing Theatre Company
are a group of students from the University of
Manchester, a number of whom have experienced
mental health problems and who are committed to
their greater understanding.

Hipólito vive
fechado no quarto, vê televisão e deleita-se com os
seus brinquedos caros. Está doente. Os outros não
existem. É com o suicídio de Fedra que o príncipe
percebe que não tem lugar no mundo: "Se tivesse
havido mais momentos como este." O Amor de Fedra é
uma recriação moderna e convulsiva do mito: e uma
estranha peça de câmara…
Fedra És difícil. Temperamental, cínico, amargo,
gordo, decadente, mimado. Passas o dia na cama, vês
televisão à noite, arrastas-te pela casa com o sono nos
olhos e não tens um pensamento para ninguém. Sofres. Eu
adoro-te.
Hipóloto Não é
muito lógico.
Fedra O amor não é lógico.
Sarah Kane, O Amor de Fedra
