Kagan Goh

Can madness ultimately deliver us from a mad world? This is one of the many questions that artist Kagan Goh confronts in Surviving Samsara, a courageous and intimate work that delves deeply into one artist’s experience of mental health.

Kagan Goh is an award-winning filmmaker, published author, playwright, actor, mental health advocate and activist. He was diagnosed with manic depression at the age of 23.

Surviving Samsara offers a powerful and compelling glimpse into artist Kagan Goh’s personal struggles with manic depression and his journey towards recovery, acceptance and unconditional self-love. The work begins together acting, spoken word and audiovisuals to expose the damaging effects of the stigma of mental illness and explores manic depression not only as a disorder but as a spiritual emergence — a vehicle for personal growth, healing and transcendence.
