You Are Not Alone Across Time

"Remember, Bryan Doerries likes to say in both physical and virtual gatherings, you are not alone in this room and you are not alone across time. With his public health project, Theater of War, he is activating an old alchemy for our young century. Ancient stories, and texts that have stood the test of time, can be portals to honest and dignified grappling with present wounds and longings and callings that we arent able to muster in our official places now. Its an embodiment of the good Greek word catharsis releasing both insight and emotions that have had no place to go, and creating an energizing relief. And it is now unfolding in the amphitheater of Zoom that Sophocles could not have imagined." More in this On Being interview.
