Psychic Self Defense

July 8-10

Psychic Self Defense is an object focused theater piece that invites you to contemplate endlessness, endings and the nature of attention through that most basic of theater machineries – the curtain reveal. Psychic Self Defense takes Dion Fortune’s 1930 occult self-help text of the same name as point of departure. Fortune’s book is about how we protect ourselves from paranormal psychic attacks from beings such as vampires and ghosts. The show Psychic Self Defense attempts to create new psychic self defense strategies for an era where capitalism incentivizes and normalizes the hijacking of our attention– via smartphones, apps, screens in all public spaces. How do we regain a sense of mental spaciousness? Psychic Self Defense aims to create this experience of empty space by way of the hypnotic effect of curtains opening.
