Psycho-Buddha is a participatory liturgy that hosts the passion and difficulties of coming together, speaking up and advocating for social justice. Through shared song, voicing desires and discomfort, it offers a toolbox of existential conundrums drawn from the artist’s personal history and pays homage to the facilitation skills of choreographers and political organizers.



The psycho resists purity, leans into emotional complexity and humor, while refusing to tidy up the struggle of being with others. Buddha enters to acknowledge the spiritual labor behind participation: the silent work of learning, listening, accepting feedback, and loving ourselves in our imperfections.


On four evenings the graduates of the BA Dance, Context, Choreography show their final projects. With works by Mateo Argerich, Ella Olivia Bender, Anton Gerzina, Sefa Okutan, Mahshad Rezai, Milena Stein, Marie Stremmel, Frida Zack.
