BEHIND THE SCENES - Follow the creation during a whole year
A Personal and Historical Starting Point
At the end of 2021 my life took an unexpected turn: I was diagnosed with autism. While this raised new questions, it also brought clarity: it not only explained challenges but also illuminated how, since the age of eleven, I had discovered theater as a powerful medium to showcase my strengths, and carve out my place in the world.
This personal journey intertwines with another, lesser-known story that deeply moved me: that of Grunya Sukhareva, a Russian psychiatrist who, in the early twentieth century, formulated the first definition of autism. While her groundbreaking work remained largely unrecognized, her vision was remarkably progressive.
The Forest School will explore how neurodiversity and art can enrich one another and how an ensemble of non-professional participants on the spectrum can create a production that pushes the boundaries of inclusion and creativity.
