Description
The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness is an allegorical tale that weaves together literature, music, and visual art to explore themes of beauty, resilience, society, and difference. This poignant story follows one boy's journey into mental illness, offering a mesmerising visual and auditory experience. At its heart lies a 50-minute orchestral composition by Matt Ottley, performed by the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno, tenor Ben Reynolds, and narrated by Tina Wilson. The book comes with a CD recording and download link of this musical work, which forms part of this multi-modal exploration. This work is inspired by the experiences of its creator, Matt Ottley, who has lived with bipolar disorder all his life. It aims to offer a sensory insight into the experiences of those who suffer from debilitating illnesses, particularly psychosis.
