Abstract
Neurosis (meaning a mental disturbance) is a trio about what goes on in the mind of someone with extreme insecurity and depression. It depicts insecurities in one’s head as being menacing, controlling, and authoritative, due to the stress they put on an individual and the emotional instability they can cause. In order to show this contrast, dancers have different roles, one as the victim and the other two as the constant insecurities lurking behind, to which she always succumbs.
