A Nervous Breakdown examines healing in the context of serious illness. Framed as a ritual around the Hebrew concept of Tikkun Olam, or “world repair,” A Nervous Breakdown blends documentary theatre with dance, exploring the human aspects of the physician-patient relationship in modern medical practice and Americans’ relationship with mortality. A Nervous Breakdown is presented as part of the Cohen New Works Festival. The Festival, produced by The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance and sponsored by Broadway Bank, premieres 38 new student-made projects April 10-14, 2017.
