The Other Side of the Underneath
Adapting her play "A New Communion for Freaks, Prophets and Witches", playwright/actress Jane Arden assembles her all-female Holocaust theatre troupe for a violent descent into the mind of a young woman labelled schizophrenic. Composed of different episodes brimming with psychoanalytic symbols and raw, shocking, heartbreaking footage, each segment becomes the metaphorical backdrop for the creator's reflections on self-exploration, repressed guilt, sexual deprivation, freedom of expression, emotional breakdown and the "other side" underneath.
