“I\u2019ve seen the psychiatrist, the gastroenterologist, the neurologist, the ophthalmologist, the homoeopathic healer, the chiropractor, the aromatherapist. The Exorcist? Honestly, at this point, I\u2019m gagging for an exorcism. “<\/p>\n
Blending live music, movement, text and striking visual design, and created by artists living with chronic illness and invisible disabilities, this immersive performance reveals the hidden, often messy truth behind \u201cI\u2019m fine\u201d: the cost of getting out of bed, the absurdity of medical bureaucracy, the sting of being left out, and the beauty and solidarity that make it possible to carry on. <\/p>\n
