The group consists of patients, students, and workers who "navigate" the waters of mental health through theatrical practice, where learning, creation, care, production of subjectivity, autonomy, and citizenship are intertwined. They are explorers of their own destiny who, cast into the sea of madness, reinvent reality through art.
