“THE MIRROR OF THE OTHER”


Inspired by the Buddhist Koan technique, the “Mirror of the Other” is a performative ritual, invoked with mystical poetry and a gazing into the eye of the other. Participants are first blindfolded, shifting inwards towards their being; and then awakening to the mirror of the other, where glimpses of the dissolution of the self, and the threads that both dissolve and connect us, become a journey beyond the definition of the self. Poem recitations by Rossella Cecili.

The session is 1.5 hours.
