What happens when we don’t know which end of care-taking we’re actually on? Select audience members are invited to follow Perel’s pattern of scar tissue in a delicate choreography where dance becomes the body’s unfurling.
Pain Threshold examines the mutuality between one who gives care, and one who receives it, pulling apart the problematic nature of power within these roles. Is it possible to witness another person’s pain, be it physical or emotional, without the impulse to either save, solve, turn away, or reject? If we can release the shame about our pain, we can release the narratives we’ve been given that tell us otherwise. Perel is willing to surrender for the cause.
