frenzy fest
Each year BIP presents the psychological theater and short-film festival “Frenzy Fest”. Frenzy Fest is a unique festival that combines the arts with the science and study of the human psyche. The plays reflect some form of “Frenzy” episodes, meaning a kind of mental agitation, violent excitement, emotional breakdown, delirium and/or rage. The Festival received recognition from “Teatro Tempo” for its artistic and social contribution to the community. In addition, 2019 Frenzy Fest won the “Best Extraordinary Experimental Production, LATA Award” from the Latin Alternative Theater Awards 2020.
This initiative is so relevant to the neighborhood because, for example, statistically one third of households in East Harlem reported incomes below the federal poverty level. As it relates to crime trends, East Harlem ranked #14 among the City’s fifty-nine community districts. Both of these conditions are triggers for mental health decline. This festival creatively and artistically provides a compassionate message of warnings and prevention on mental health and human behavior so necessary in our society.
The generosity of our donors enables us to provide the very best psychological plays experience for our audience and theatrical entertainment to our audiences. BIP works with every sponsor to help craft a benefits package that best serves the partner’s corporate marketing goals. Different opportunities are available to sponsor Frenzy Fest, or create your own package.
