Ceremony 1. Oh my god. OH. MY. GOD.
Want to go places? Three letters. DMT
From the same jungles of Peru where Werner Herzog battled to haul a 320-ton boat up a 40 degree slope for his film Fitzcarraldo, a man recounts his ‘personal Everest’ to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca in traditional shamanic ceremonies.
Using anecdotal monologue, and with a ‘brave reflective sense of adventure,’ nine mind-altering, psychedelic ceremonial trips are told with self deprecating humour and a post-modern slant. With live, sweet, subtle, interactive percussive music and an ingenious, dynamic set, this hilariously accurate adventure is “visually exciting, poetic in dialogue, funny, gripping, musical, and totally enthralling.”
The shaman is here, it’s time for ceremony. Keep your intention clean and clear, always know where your bucket is, and please keep your hands inside the carriage…
