December 2021 in Plovdiv.
Co-production with “Sensory Labyrinth Theater – Periscope”.

The performance is the result of a one-week workshop for sensory and interactive theater.

The performance explores the concept of “koan” that comes from Zen Buddhism. A koan is usually a question, an unanswered mental riddle (for example: “Who am I?”) that is repeated many times by the person so that their mind can get lost in the search for answers. This question shows the person that mental activity is incapable of providing them with an entirely satisfactory answer. The purpose of the koan is to deplete the analytical and egoistic mind in order to reveal the more intuitive no-mind.
