Psychic Self Defense is a show that invites you into the guts of the theater. Audiences enter the show through a corridor draped with fabrics and dimly lit by chandeliers. Are they entering into a séance? No… after piercing these veils, they arrive at what is apparently a tiny, haunted proscenium theater. A curtain opens with great fanfare… and then another… and then curtains keep opening and closing, revealing and concealing scenes, objects and images, disorienting and transporting the viewer for the next hour. Strange creatures emerge from the shadows, protagonists are absorbed into set dressing and scenic ornaments run rampant. Psychic Self Defense is a journey into abstraction, allowing audiences to experience the mystery and mental spaciousness by way of that most basic of theatrical machineries—the curtain reveal.

Commissioned, developed and produced by HERE Artist Residency and Dream Music Puppetry Program.
