The City for Incurable Women

Ladies and Gentlethem - feeling a little upset? Have you tried hypnosis, psychoanalysis, smelling salts and it just doesn’t work? Try The City for Incurable Women!
It’s 1880s Paris and Dr Jean-Martin Charcot is studying hysteria at the Salpêtrière Hospital. Here, the doctors go to extraordinary lengths to prove their theories about the four stages of madness, having female patients perform ‘hysteria’ to the public. International theatre collective fish in a dress follows the thread of the history of hysteria as the audience becomes complicit in an outrageous tale of medical misogyny.
