Frenzy Fest 2026 at El Barrio's Artspace

Frenzy Fest is a bilingual competitive theatre Festival.

Frenzy Fest is a bilingual competitive one act play-festival focusing on social and psychological vulnerabilities serving to increase awareness and empathy about the stigma of mental health. Frenzy Fest focuses on the human psyche as the totality of all elements forming the mind. In the mind’s complexity, almost all human beings may experience a temporary madness or a violent mental and emotional agitation, and may not be diagnosed as a psychotic person.
