here we are, another year, another transition, another ritual. how has thisyear been for YOU? how is it defined? what are YOU building, preserving: whatare YOU letting go? new loves? new hopes? old fears?
this year we are once again celebrating SAMHAIN at DEFIBRILLATOR gallery. youare invited to a very special ritual/performance celebrating SAMHAIN, alsoknown as HALLOWEEN also known as ALL HALLOWS’ EVE.
SAMHAIN RITUAL PERFORMANCE OCT 30-31I will open sacred space to create theconditions for ritual, sharing and performance. WE – YOU theaudience/participants, and the collaborators and energy pivots of theritual/performance – will move through sequences of ritual, video, poetry,movement, music and technology.
SAMHAIN is the and my favorite holiday. it’s the transition: death. the veil between the worlds is lifted and the mystic, the esoteric, the spiritual, the rambunctious, the contemplative, the erotic, the chaos blends and manifests.
several years ago, in a performance/ritual space in OSLO, I proclaimed myself the NEW VICAR of THE ELECTRIC CHURCH. I don my cloaks now here in CHICAGO, to proclaim and open space of healing, worship, sharing and experience.
I will be joined in the ritual/performance by ADAM ROSE, BETTY DEVOE, SARA ZALEK, STEPHANIE LUPU, JOHANNA WIESBROCK, HOLLY CHERNOBYL, SWOON LAKE and MATEO.
SAMHAIN RITUAL PERFORMANCE performances will actually begin on THURSDAY OCTOBER 30 and continue on FRIDAY OCTOBER 31.
your part in this ritual is vital, living, real. what death are YOU celebrating? what transition has been or is a part of YOUR life? are YOU mourning loss? are YOU celebrating birth? Is this YOUR death and rebirth?
what do YOU want to bring to the ritual space? what intentions do YOU have? and / or are YOU open to the experience of cataclysmic forces in a contained, safe environment?
I would like YOU to come and document YOUR experience. the documentation of the ritual/performance will be done by YOU. on YOUR technology, through YOUR vision, through YOUR experiences. post it, share it, tweet it. YOU are a critical part of spreading the manifestation.”
