Self_Less with ensemble PHASE
Self_Less is a multipart series of musical works examining our “sense of self” while questioning the uniformity of these perceived feelings. Composer and Director Edward Shocker brings together a cross-cultural collaborative team featuring performance group ensemble PHASE from Korea, experimental film projectionist Keith Evans, and playwright Erik Ehn. Incorporating live music and projected and prerecorded audio of stories from people who have had unique neuropsychological experiences (such as dementia, out-of-body experiences, and episodes of depersonalization-derealization), Self_Less’s mission is to bring awareness to the connections among brain, body, mind, and self.
