The Capitol

<h3>As part of the Big Anxiety Festival 2022, Honor Eastly's groundbreaking performance memoir about the lived experience of suicidality is brought to life with with a stellar creative team to create an immersive audio visual experience at the iconic Capitol Theatre. </h3>“Total magic” – The Atlantic “Mental health explored like never before” – The Financial Times “Though it deals with a heavy subject matter the power of No Feeling Is Final is in the case it makes for going on living” – The New York TimesUsually when we talk about suicide we say those four magic words: "just ask for help". But Honor Eastly knows it’s not that simple. She’s been there and back, and now has years of phone recordings and diary entries, from the inside. Part performance, part personal essay, this special event is a deeply intimate and unprecedented insight into the lived experience of suicidality, and the complexity of navigating the mental health system in Australia, brought to life with a stellar creative team to create an immersive audio visual experience at the iconic Capitol Theatre. This is a show for anyone who’s ever wondered if life is worth living. For anyone who loves someone who has. And especially for anyone who’s felt at war with a system meant to help them. At times heartbreaking, and desperate – but also darkly funny, and charming, No Feeling Is Final is a story of difference, identity, and why we should stay alive.<h3>About the artist</h3>Honor Eastly is a writer, podcaster and mental health advocate.
