Wakings!
What takes us from sleep to waking? What is the journey from normal to psychosis? What is the mystical thread that transforms a conventional state of awareness into spiritual ‘enlightenment’? Or are all of these conditions simply spontaneous? Odyssey Theatre Ensemble artistic director Ron Sossi explores the many states of human awareness with an evening of short “mindscapes” by Robert Coover, Hermann Hesse and Harold Pinter.
