A multimedia multidisciplinary theatrical production celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit to transcend the suffering of the stigma and discrimination of mental illness A Multimedia Multidisciplinary Theatrical Performance Featuring KAGAN GOH – Actor & Spoken Word Artist SALOMÉ NIETO – Butoh Dancer & Choreographer ANGELO MORONI – Director & Composer/Musician JUJUBE JACINTO – Rapper RENA DEL PIEVE GOBBI – Filmmaker Surviving Samsara is a multimedia multidisciplinary live theatrical production that incorporates acting, spoken word, Butoh dance, rap, music, film and video. Surviving Samsara recounts the author Kagan Goh’s struggles with manic depression. This story takes place over two decades as Kagan Goh struggles to survive the highs of mania and the lows of depression. As a survivor, Kagan gives us insight into an ‘insider’s’ experience of madness. He exposes the damaging effects of the stigma of mental illness, and explores manic depression not only as a disorder, but as a spiritual emergence — a vehicle for personal growth, healing and transcendence. Kagan’s deeply personal stories illustrate his transformation from victim to survivor to activist. WHEN: Thurs June 15 & Thurs June 29, 2017
