  Poster designed by Athena McIsaacSuppressed Desires satirizes Psychoanaly
 sis, a theory developed by Sigmund Freud which involves analyzing people’
 s dreams and behaviours to determine their “suppressed desire.” Henrietta 
 insists that both her husband Stephen and her sister Mabel go get psychoan
 alyzed. But when they finally do get “psyched,” Henrietta is shocked by t
 he results. As psychoanalysis threatens to destroy relationships and famil
 y ties, the absurdity of their situation is taken to new heights.    Crea

  pool. She had a pool.” Set in the 2000s, in an age shifting from physica
 l to digital media, a friend group of artists navigate their feelings as 
 one finds fame and success, flying above the others. For one night only t
 he group is backkkk toooogetherrr, drinking and reminiscing, and sk-iii-
 \n-eeee-dippp-pinninggg. But a tragic accident puts an end to the nostalgi
 a and begins the story of artistic ambition, jealousy, and exploitation…
