“Get Off Me!” explores the philosophy of “Mental Matter,” examining how body language reveals the physical weight of internal struggles and the suppression of such. It considers how people carry “mass” through their posture and behaviour—often feeling the burden of the weight, without understanding its source or ways to minimise the effects.

In this work, a young man’s life troubles are given a physical presence, demonstrating the effect of “carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders” and the unrecognised and “invisible” burdens people can often carry. 

Integrating humour and theatricality, “Get Off Me!” further draws on theories of therapy, “offloading,” and the various ways people are both advised or attempt to get rid of their own troubles.
