About the event
This February, counter/current:collective presents TÖGAL, a newly devised theater piece which explores the mystical and transitional states of the Bardos.
In Buddhist practice, tögal means “leapover”, "direct crossing," or “the practice of vision”, and refers to a state of transcendence near death.
Drawing inspiration from Pema Chödrön's How We Live is How We Die and The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a group of visiting artists will join the counter/current team for a five-day intensive to develop the work, followed by three World Premiere performances.
TÖGAL is an invitation to step beyond the veil.
About Devising Lab:
Devising Lab is a counter/current:collective initiative where we create original works of experimental theater to push boundaries and directly respond to the Here & Now. This “arm” of the company allows for us to explore form, deconstruct text, take risks, and authentically and edgily create as an ensemble.
