Seizure's Lament: An Epileptic's Documentary

Background: A Seizure’s Lament was first commissioned by the 2011 Deep Wireless Festival in Toronto and aired on CBC Radio’s Living Out Loud. It later aired on CBC Radio’s Tapestry and was featured at the Third Coast Filmless Festival in Chicago and PRX’s How Sound show.

Carma Jolly: There is a sound that I will never forget. It’s a sound I make, but the thing is I’ve never heard it myself. That’s because when it comes out, I’m always unconscious in an epileptic fit.

Well, the thing is, just over a year ago I began having seizures. It has been diagnosed as epilepsy; but up until just very recently they’ve always been when I was at home alone, because I live alone, or they’ve been out in public, when I was alone out in public, like on a bus, or on the subway, or in the middle of the road. So I’ve really never been able to ask anyone what happens to me when I have a seizure. And so I have no idea how it happens. I’m completely gone.
