Join us for a performance of a sound and spoken word piece, a collaboration between artist and author Sharon Young and musician Joseph Costi based on Sharon’s book ‘Ms.B; The Hysterical Episodes’.
Fragments from Sigmund Freud’s ‘Case Studies in Hysteria’ mesh with excerpts from Gustav Flaubert’s ‘Emma Bovary’ and are woven together to make a prose poem that reflects an experience of hysteria told in the present day. Through polyvocal play, this piece, made up entirely from Ms.B’s (Sharon’s) voice and electronic interventions from Joseph, reflects the psychological neurosis and physical symptoms of hysteria.
The piece will play and will be accompanied by a live component performed by Sharon Young. Attendees are invited to join the chorus, song sheets will be provided.
This event is set in the glorious garden of Sigmund Freud’s former home, now the Freud Museum London.
Tickets are free with admission, however advance booking is essential.
Admission is timed at the museum, however visitors who have booked slots earlier in the day via the museum website are welcome to stay for the performance.
The purpose of this event/course/conference is to raise funds for the Freud Museum London, which receives no regular public income.
