Ship Of Fools

‘An experimental narrative that examines, from a personal and sociological perspective, the 15th century practice in northern Europe of placing insane citizens on ships, or floating asylums, and banishing them from ‘normal’ society to the unreason of the sea. Ship of Fools is a poetic recreation of a ship of folly. Passengers include myself and my father and the journey moves from the harbour in Amsterdam to New York City and includes several encounters with the irrational’ – Tony Allard
