What within you wants to be liberated? What are you suppressing? What feelings and thoughts lie hidden beneath the deepest layers of your inner shadows? The hidden self. We all have something so deeply buried within us that we hardly dare to look at it. A shadow within us that remains hidden yet still controls us. What do these unconscious processes do to us? They often guide our lives more than we realise. Taking a look inside can strengthen our self-development, lead to inner growth and connect us with our potential. ‘The Liberation of the Phantom’ deals with the ‘phantom’ as a metaphor for the hidden self: suppressed parts, unlived potential, energies that work without being visible. The result will be an abstract, poetic shadow theatre piece – an experimental interplay of shadow images, masks, movement, live sound and poetry. In terms of content, the project moves at the interface between psychology and art and explores the themes of consciousness and “the Self“.
