Beautiful Distress was founded on the concept that there is a great deal of mental suffering, that not enough people are aware of this and that not enough is done to stop it.

The Foundation uses art in an attempt to open up the world of psychiatry and battle the stigma attached to it.

Why art? Beautiful Distress believes that art is pre-eminently capable of articulating and depicting the human condition

De Dolende Mens - Rianne Meboer

Maarten Van Overeem

De Dolende Mens
Rianne Meboer
Sat July 17 & Sun 18

Theater maker Rianne Meboer investigates how we deal with confused behavior in Amsterdam-Noord. With what words do you speak with integrity on this subject? Who or what does the (temporarily) wandering person encounter? And what about the environment?

In her research process, Meboer spoke to various experts, psychotherapists and district police officers, joined the Salvation Army and followed a course on Mental Health First Aid. In the end her own work experience in health care and her personal experience with mental health turned out to play a bigger role than she had expected.

Eventually she combined the results of her research in a theatrical, humorous presentation and a dialogue (Deep Democracy) with the audience and those involved. Her research will continue during Over het IJ Festival.

Sat July 17 & Sun 18, 2021 at Beautiful Distress House.
Tickets available here.
