Exploring Agency Thru New Rites

This episode weaves together anthropology, theatre, sexuality and spirituality with Christopher Fuelling, founding member of the Kedesha Collective and founder of Teatro Korazon in Los Angeles. His projects explore ritual, the ecstatic, and the numinous in widely different contexts from Early Music liturgical reconstructions in European churches to experimental ritual theatre and outrageous rock operas from Bali to Burning Man. Working as a concept creator, director and experience designer, he collaboratively creates new works and radical adaptations of classics to allow music, theatre, and dance audiences to experience art in interactive ways, inviting deep impact through increased self-awareness and transformational up-leveling. In today's society where humans are seeking for more meaning and significance in their lives, we assert that immersive theater could be a viable option for healing. In the podcast we discuss how the Arts can revive humanity, from a variety of perspectives, specifically how immersive ritual-based theater ordeals can explore the human psyche, and how rites have the capacity to help humans in the fields of sexual consent and agency. ⁠https://teatrokorazon.org/⁠
