Hissterier

Mentally insane or just misunderstood?

What does it mean to be classified as ‘crazy’? 

Two women and their feline friends attempt to navigate a world where their eccentric and strange quirks are not warmly welcomed. 

Lonely, obsessive and utterly strange. 

Are these women a tad too eccentric or do they simply adore all things cats? Are they hysterical or are they merely expressing their opinions? 

Hissterier paw-nders on notions of mental health and gender politics, and asks audiences to decide for themselves – are these women in fact mad or is this their way of challenging and hissing at unjust gendered expectations?
