Beyond the physical, chemical, and mystical processes that take place in the brain, it is not entirely clear what truly lies within. Some claim that the brain controls the body, while others insist, “No! It’s the body that dictates everything!” Thought, language, imagination, sensation, perception, balance, posture, breathing, heartbeat rhythm, blood pressure, learning, memory… phew… how can so much fit inside if the head is so small? But Inside the head, there’s also the nose and the mouth—with a tongue inside… oh, and the eyes… phew! And the ears too. So much packed in! How are we going to fit all of this into a single performance? It seems like an impossible task. Let’s get to work!
In this show, the audience is invited to take off their shoes.
