Presented by Seacrest Productions Inc.
Water For The Madman is an original one man theatrical experience created by Billy White. Featuring spoken word, surrealist film imagery, lyrical movement, field recordings and experimental music, this performance weaves a compelling story about a gay man with Type 1 Diabetes trying to navigate his late 20s as a flailing libertine.
Billy shines a raw, uncompromising, and personal light on themes of chronic illness, queerness, and mental health, stylishly wrapped in a flourish of hope, humour, and redemption, making it an entertaining and wild jaunt for fabulous people.
