PELUSIA: Psycho-Buddha – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin
PELUSIA:
Psycho-Buddha
Psycho-Buddha is a participatory liturgy that hosts the passion and difficulties of coming together, speaking up and advocating for social justice. Through shared songs and the voicing of desires and discomfort, it offers a toolbox of existential conundrums drawn from the artist’s personal history and pays homage to the facilitation skills of choreographers and political organizers.
The psycho resists purity, leans into emotional complexity and humor, while refusing to tidy up the struggle of being with others. Buddha enters to acknowledge the spiritual labor behind participation: the silent work of learning, listening, accepting feedback, and loving ourselves in our imperfections.
