37 Reasons To Be Blue is a work-in-progress performance piece by Ki McBride exploring how, in an increasingly atomised society, we are bombarded with ever increasing serious crises yet feel powerless to do anything.
It asks how we can bear the weight of this, individually and collectively, how terror infects our alienated selves, and wonders where we are all headed.
