Wormwood
Wormwood is a dance film that explores the themes of depression and suicidal ideation through movement. The film portrays the internal dialogue of someone navigating these mental health struggles, using choreography to express the emotional weight and isolation associated with these experiences. Through subtle gestures, Wormwood conveys the tension between the mind and the body, highlighting the cyclical nature of dark thoughts and the impact they have on the individual. The film aims to offer an honest and raw depiction of the emotional and physical toll of depression and suicidal ideation.
