Danish text

“We learn how to brush our teeth, to wash ourselves, we are vaccinated and checked for dangerous diseases, but no one teaches us how to live in peace with our nerves”. Eight nervous disorders are gathered for an assembly of the nervous, where they are forced to relate to each other and each other’s disorders, even though all they want is to live in peace with themselves and their own frayed nerves. Each equipped with their own more or less authorized diagnosis – specially sensitive, mythomaniac, histrionic, hypochondriac, sadist, compulsive neurotic, fatalist and overreflector – they are involved in a therapeutic game which goal it is to mix with each other and find a common solution to their disorders. However, it quickly turns out that it is difficult to be common about anything when you have enough in yourself and fear an ever-imminent nervous breakdown.
