Theatre in the Sur-round

The Mummery Book
— part 6

Your transformation is aided by a unique theatre space designed around principles formulated by Adi Da Samraj to support your fullest participation.

You as the audience surround the central stage, but you are in turn surrounded by a higher "racetrack" stage, with action occurring on both levels as well as on the floor level.

Characters enter and exit from all levels and all points of the compass, including through dramatic openings in the theatre that will take you by surprise!

No matter where you sit, you are close to the actors, and all of this serves to break down the usual wall between actors and audience and to create an extraordinary intimacy — without intruding on your own private response to the performance.

Because this is transformational theatre, interestingly, there is also no applause at the end of scenes and no curtain call for the actors at the end of the enactment.

Instead, you are allowed to simply feel and contemplate what you have experienced — and are invited to stay in your seat as long as you wish to after the final scene ends
