This dreamgirl is going Mad. She keeps on writing songs about love and pretending they’re about psychiatric drugs. Or the other way around. Her voice is delusional. She believes the real world is made up of illusions. Is the way she sings dangerous? Does it sound dangerous to you? You’re invited to enable her, and welcome to enjoy it! You came for the music, but you’ll stay in this perverse reverie forever.
Featuring Scott Heins & Maya Sharpe
Deepali Gupta is a performance artist and theater practitioner. Her work circulates ideas around madness in relation to the colonized and feminized body. She works in (dis)order to upheave and unravel. Past collaborations include Minor Character, Ski End, and Madonna col bambino. Current projects include United States v. Gupta (upcoming at JACK) and I Love You Stranger (in development with Ars Nova). She is on the Board of Directors of The Poetry Project; and an Affiliated Artist with Target Margin Theater, La MaMa, and The Civilians. New York Magazine called her “one part ASMR fantasy” and they’re not wrong.
