Eris Mainstage
Are clowns funny? Are clowns nice? We may never know. But what if clowns had something to teach us about birth, death, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and everything in between?
Inspired by the work of Stanislav Grof, the Brooklyn Comedy Collective's Clown Ensemble (Clown III) class embarks on an exploration of the Basic Perinatal Matrices—four experiential realms Grof identified in his research on psychedelic states and the birth process.
Through chaos and clown logic, we dive headfirst into the mysteries of:
Intrauterine Bliss
Cosmic Engulfment
The Struggle
The Death-Rebirth Experience
Will we answer life’s biggest questions? Probably not. But we might stumble into something unexpectedly profound—and definitely absurd—along the way.
