YGTV: What is your latest play Catharsis about?
Julian: Catharsis is about a man who cannot sleep. A frustrated artist, he is going through a difficult time in his life and is almost on the verge of an emotional breakdown. There are many tensions in his life and in his relationships with the people around him - his girlfriend, his friends, his co-workers. In order to find answers and solutions, he takes to going for long walks at night, and this exposes him to a sinister underworld in which he feels alternately threatened, yet, at other times, at ease. His failure to find answers leads him to take increasing risks and, as he descends further into this self-destructive spiral, his actions start affecting those closest to him.
