M/Other—a New Play Opens in Lagos That Breaks the Silence on Maternal Mental Illness

The performance is produced by Nigeria’s QDance Company and Dutch theatre maker Katy Streek for As Equals, CNN’s gender inequality reporting project.

The 40-minute show will combine theatre and dance and is inspired and informed by As Equals’ journalism on post-partum depression and other mental health conditions that can affect anyone during pregnancy or in the first year after birth, including those with no previous experience of mental health problems.
