how this work affects us

"I think the primary way this work affects the participant's
sense of identity is through an amplified awareness of the
existing conditions of their lives and recognizing the internal
landscape as a legitimate source of spiritual authority."

ANTERO ALLI has been producing work in various mediums of theatre and paratheatre since 1977 and, experimental video documents and feature fiction films since 1993. His paratheatre work is documented in his book, "Towards an Archeology of the Soul" (Vertical Pool, 2003) and in his videos "CRUX", "Archaic Community" and "Orphans of Delirium". Alli's 2005 docufiction feature, "The Greater Circulation", incoporates a paratheatre performance in a critically acclaimed cinematic treatment of poet Rainer Maria Rilke's "Requiem for a Friend". His recent experimental feature, "The Invisible Forest" (2008; 111 min.) was inspired by the ideas of French Surrealist playwright/actor, Antonin Artaud. He currently facilitates paratheatre labs in Berkeley California with a focus on rituals based in movements recalled from dreams.
