A staged reading of our new play-in-development, Breaking Through, a compilation of stories from the community on experiences with mental health.

What are the challenges for those with a mental health diagnosis and what is needed to support recovery? Follow five characters as their stories weave in and out to depict experiences with the system, community response, internal struggles and ultimately the desire for understanding. 
This community-based project has had Sarasvàti’s artists team up with Artists in Health Care Manitoba, Red Threads Playback Theatre and the Selkirk Mental Health Centre as well as work with organizations such as the Manitoba Schizophrenia Society. 
We are inviting you to help us refine the script by providing responses and feedback.
