THEATRE | AUG, SEP, OCT 2024
Based on the lived experience of Ariela Nazar-Rosen, make the Bed is a performance that explores an anxiety attack in real time, showing what it’s like when your thoughts consume you whole. During the particular spiral the show is based on, Ariela was struck by a bed-bug scare, isolating her and forcing her to stay in her fear-infested flat. With the show, we set out to inspire open conversations about mental health, and empower people to ask for help.
make the Bed was performed at Zoo Playground at the Edinburgh Fringe. It received a five-star review in the Scotsman, was names as one of the fifteen best Edinburgh Fringe productions of 2024 and was nominated for the Mental Health Award. In September, we transfered the show to New York. For its creation, we received a Keep it Fringe Award and the support of many incredible crowdfunders.
