folie à deux

Vanessa Porter – percussion

folie à deux describes a mental disorder in which a generally healthy person adopts the schizophrenia of a close psychosis sufferer, eventually sharing the same delusion and, over time, uncorrectably reinforce each other in this belief. Vanessa Porter has developed a concept that depicts the emotions of those affected through music, improvisation and sound installations, in order to draw more attention to this still very unknown disease.
