1 - Shane Sakhrani - The Curse

For my very first episode I got to talk with brilliant comedic writer and spiritual giver of insight and care, my kind and funny twin friend, Hong Kong's karaoke king - Shane Sakhrani! We break down our personal definitions of duende, Shane opens up about how he alchemizes the chaos of confronting his duende into a different type of dramedy, and we discuss his choice of Nathan Fielder's and Benji Safdie’s provocatively absurdist "The Curse" as his example of “Where is Duende Today?” - what was up with that wild ending??!! Lol We play the first ever game of “Duende or No Duende?” - Oasis reunion tour or cash grab?, immersive theatre and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Godot - which all bring up the question of how to, like Lorca says, “rob yourself of safety” in an artistic landscape that is seemingly more and more prioritizing the opposite. Join us for a fun, thoughtful and stimulating hour of duende discussing! Have a great duend-ay! 🙂Follow @duendediscussions on IG for episode updates and fun, interactive duende discussing!
