"A-Zs" is a show about mental health. The idea for the show was born shortly before the pandemic, but during the COVID19 pandemic it was further developed, because in this period of a global crisis, at the center of social, political and news attention was the issue of protecting human life and its well-being. However, the issue of mental health took a back seat. People who suffer from mental illness, as well as those who care for them, were neglected. Also, because of the many lockdowns, isolations, uncertainty about tomorrow and fear, many people have started to manifest similar problems that have been hidden until now. More than ever, we need to talk about the mental health of society. The performance aims to present the personal world of people with mental illnesses and disorders in such a way that the viewer can get an idea of what is going on in their heads. Having a mental illness is not a crime and does not mean you are dangerous to others. The world needs more compassion and humanity, and the first step on that path is getting to know and understand others.
