Archetypes

About

An archetype has light and shadow. it is a structural force that connects the imagination with reality. through stories, cultures, archives, and legends, its psycho-mythical nature contains the history of humanity.

It represents the collective within the individual, and the individual within the collective. It is the link between the known and the unknown, between the natural, and the distorted. And as every structure of polarity, it has dual potential – to be entrapping, or offer a route to evolution, questioning whether it controls you or you can be in control of it. being faced, translated, admitted, the archetype can open the mind to liberation – where one resists being overpowered by innate forces and begins to understand them on a mental, intellectual level. the ability to recognise and navigate it becomes a source of self-knowledge. And self-realization.

Our next show takes on the archetypes as a metaphor for a phenomenon that is shaped by universal projections of the familiar, yet unresolved. a pattern, a symbol, event or behaviour that signalizes stereotypical form, only to let us acknowledge and understand the ‘given’ place of all existing.
