Eris Mainstage

A workshop by Julie Piñero

At 10 years old, Julie became consumed with the question ‘what will happen next?’. When she couldn’t find an answer in her uncertain world, her body gave her one: a hum. But when her hum was diagnosed as mild Tourette’s syndrome, medication took it away. She was left with a question, no answer, and a quest to find something – or someone – to reunite her with that mysterious good feeling.

“Hum” explores the complicated role of shame in treating mental illness, and the humor that exists at the intersection of clinical neurodivergence and everyday anxiety. Rather than getting rid of our tics, what if we imagine a world where tic-ing wasn’t wrong?

Featuring and opening stand-up performance by Ali Levin and Daniel Schreiner accompanying on piano
