Wearing the octopus crown from my Octopus Brainstorming project, I appeared as a kind of alien intelligence, priestess figure, inviting the audience into a non-verbal space of collective vibration. I began with a short introduction about the Solar Maximum and my SUNFlower Plasma project, and I asked everyone to connect to the suffering around the world — not only of humans, but of animals, plants, microbes, all creatures — and to raise our vibration together in an act of compassion.
The performance unfolded as a shared meditation with eyes wide open, structured around sound, light, and participation:
- Indigo Light & Schumann Resonance
The performance opened with the room bathed in deep indigo light while the low Schumann resonance pulsed — the Earth’s heartbeat, grounding us into presence. - Silence
A bell signaled 1 minute of silence and complete black out in the theatre. Together, we released all the noise of what we had been hearing and seeing in the days before, arriving fully in the moment. - Snake – SSSSS
We began with the sound of the snake — SSSSSS — shedding skin, releasing layers both individually and collectively. - Bees – ZZZZZ
At this moment, several wonderful artists — Dalila Honorato, Adam Zaretsky, Clarissa Ribeiro, Daniela Brill Estrada, and Rudolf Arnold — spontaneously joined me on stage, forming a chorus with the audience. Together, we created the sound of the bees — ZZZZZ — resonating in harmony. On the large screen, projections from the SUNFlower Plasma project came alive, while choreographed lighting enveloped the space, merging the hum of bees, the imagery of sunflowers, and the turbulence of solar plasma. - Solar Maximum – Plasma & Cosmic Winds
Layers of bee and snake humming intertwined with the plasma and cosmic winds of the Solar Maximum. This turbulence mirrored the storms of the Sun as well as the turbulence in our own world. - Return to Schumann Resonance
Slowly, the intensity dissolved back into the steady pulse of the Schumann resonance — always present, grounding us in the vibration of the Earth. - TTT Chant
To close, those of us on stage began chanting “TTT” — invoking Taboo, Transgression, Transcendence, the themes of the conference. The sound carried through the room, joined by the voices of the audience.
From beginning to end, this was an eyes-wide-open collective meditation. We acknowledged the chaos of our world, the intensity of the Solar Maximum, and the suffering of countless beings. There is little we can do to stop the turbulence, yet through resonance and togetherness, we created a moment of shared presence.
The spontaneous joining of fellow artists on stage, and the full participation of the audience, transformed the work into something more than performance — it became a collective ritual, a sanctuary of sound, light, and compassion.
