At ICAF 2026, the Catalan company BROTS presents its powerful performance Eucaristia. The company is made up of actors who have lived experience with mental health challenges. Through singing, shouting and acting, they perform their stories, holding up a mirror to the audience and confronting them directly.
Eucaristia explores how religious and conservative values continue to shape society, often unnoticed, and how they can lead to suffering. This project is an artistic plea for mental health care as a collective practice, rather than as individual therapy, supporting transformation and solidarity and a more humane approach to people who are psychologically vulnerable. Drawing on fourteen years of collective artistic practice, the makers share stories of liberation, mutual support and activism for mental health.
