“An incredibly moving and thought-provoking experience... fascinating and heartfelt”
UnTethered is an autobiographical comedy that follows a queer, demisexual woman with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as she attempts to transcend her fears so that she may finally experience what it’s like to feel safe and loved. When her intrusive thoughts manifest as monsters made from plastic bags, she begins to question the absurd lengths the mind will go through to create an illusion of safety. UnTethered explores the challenges of intimacy, and seeks to communicate a truthful portrayal of the often clichéd experience of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Pushing at the boundaries of fixed identity, UnTethered asks if we should tether to the things that make us feel safe, or if the power lies in the letting go.
“Funny, heartfelt and unafraid of emotional whiplash”
UnTethered has performed at DasDas in Istanbul, at Thespis Theater in Astoria, NY, at The Tank NYC in Manhattan, and at Camden People’s Theatre in London, The Glitch in London, Sweet @ The Yellow Book in Brighton and Greenside @ George Street at The Edinburgh Fringe. The production has been supported by the US Embassy in Turkey, the New York Foundation for the Arts and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
