Insênicos

What are the limits between art and madness?

Insênicos is an artistic collective from Salvador, Bahia in Brazil, formed by actors and actresses with mental health disorders. They use the theatrical language as a way to break stigmas and to build new perspectives on madness. Since 2010 the group holds artistic workshops for people with psychological distress. They participate in seminars and congresses and show theater plays in public and private theaters.

Insênicos experiences art to reconstruct identities, realities and cultures but also as a contribution to healing processes.Insênicos fights for an inclusive society on behalf of people with mental illness in Brazil.
