Artist and TantraNova practitioner, Freddy Zental Weaver, takes his audience on a truly entertaining and often hilarious journey through his life experiences concerning intimacy, sex and love. All the good stuff! The play is packed with storytelling,drumming, singing and movement. All are used in service of demystifying those intimate, personally impacting moments that so often go unexamined or trivialized, like your first exposure to sexual energy, your first orgasm or your first true love.

As Zental’s personal story unfolds the audience is reminded, “As you listen to my story think about your own.” The play therefore is a playful invitation for us all to get in touch with old feelings and fixed ways of being and remember our dreams and passions.

TantraNova Man: An Experiential Show With Freddy Zental Weaver

Zental intentionally created the play as an introduction to sexual intelligence that he developed through his extensive study and practice of Tantra, an East Indian tradition conceived over 5000 years ago. Tantra is a new (though spiritually quite ancient) approach to connecting and manifesting creativity and joy in our work, play, relationships and life. For many the concept of sexual intelligence is completely new. The word Tantra itself is misunderstood as a hedonistic practice in the West unfortunately relating only to the sex act itself. Yet Tantra is much more encompassing and understands sexual energy as life force energy. They are one and the same – we wouldn’t exist without it! Given this background, sexual intelligence is considered an awareness that allows for conscious cultivation of this creative life force energy.

Freddy Zental conveys that it is only when we have come to terms fully with our sexual selves and learn practices of consciousness and focus which draw on our sexual intelligence that we are able to reach our full human potential.

Through the drama of storytelling, song and rhythm Freddy Zental’s audiences are guided to a deeper appreciation of connecting with this creative life force energy. The use of multi-media and audience participation generates an experience of tapping into a greater consciousness beyond what’s available in the daily routines of life via the linear left brain.
