When an artist sets out to investigate the line between art and madness, he finds himself in a dangerous dance with existential questions:\
Why create art?
Does it heal or harm us?
Must artists suffer?
What’s the price of so-called “genius?”
Methods in Madness is a theatrical experiment + autopsy + installation that aims to examine the creative process and correlations between mental health and artistry. Helmed by multidisciplinary artist Corey Allen—whose visual art and performances, inspired by the works of James Baldwin, Beauford Delaney, Nina Simone and Julius Eastman, anchor the installation—Methods in Madness will evolve daily.
