The biography of a person diagnosed with affective bipolar disorder appears in the condensed form of a theater piece like a constant up and down. Mania and depression alternate, propel, open and close doors, imprison.
In RAPID CYCLING we examine the different realities of perception by means of the roller coaster ride of the moods of an affected person. At what point are mood swings sick? And to what extent aren‘t awareness and acceptance of one‘s own personality also of fundamental importance for the happiness of each individual?
