Adapted + directed by Dr. Evan Mitchell Schares, The Yellow Wallpaper is a experiment in hallucination theatre investigating how technologies (literary + visual + digital) shape perception, diary authorship, and the politics of care and control.
The immersive projections are a living, responsive environment that breathes, distorts, and surveils. Audiences step inside the protagonist’s fevered world, where reality flickers between shifting consciousness.
The bed is a site of supposed rest that becomes the scene of psychological unraveling. In my production, the bed recalls that tension while drawing on the lineage of performance and installation art, particularly Tracey Emin’s My Bed, where domestic debris becomes testimony to lived experience.
The projection installations animate the space around the bed, externalizing the protagonist’s unraveling psyche . The bed, once a place of containment, becomes the threshold between body and image, care and collapse.
