how this work affects us

"I think the primary ways this work affects participants might be
an amplification of the existing conditions of their lives and the
recognition of direct experience as a legitimate source of spiritual
authority. After that, whatever processes and actions erupt and
develop can only express greater authenticity." -- Antero Alli

ANTERO ALLI has been working with groups, and producing work, in theatre and paratheatre since 1977. 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", incorporates 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.
