DARK ALICE:
CLUSTERS OF MADNESS
Does psyche dictate breath, or does breath dictate perception?
Years after Wonderland, Alice can no longer trust the line between memory, hallucination, and the present moment.
Does Breath Dictate Your Experience of the World?
Alice lives in anticipation of the next cluster headache.
Mushrooms offer her relief, then open a door she cannot reliably close. The Mad Hatter claims breath can guide her through what follows. His help may be leading her somewhere else.
01 / AWARENESS
Light, heartbeat, temperature, space. Alice hears the Hatter ask her to notice her breathing-and realizes it has already chanced.
Notice. Direct. Intensify. Surrender.
Across four acts, breath moves from something Alice observes to an instrument she uses. Attention steadies, intensity rises, and the line between directing and experiencing begins to loosen.
01 / NOTICE
Become aware of what is already changing
02 / DIRECT
Use breath to organize attention
03 / INTENSIFY
Enter the state you normally regulate away from
04 / SURRENDER
Question WHO is directing the experience
02 / FOCUS
Alice must move through an ordinary demand while her surroundings grow strange. Deliberate breathing narrows her field of attention and helps her act with precision amid distraction.
"Can I influence what is happening to me?"

04 / Transcendence
Who are you when boundaries of self disappear?
From above, Alice sees something impossible. The indelible boundary between memory, hallucination, and reality removed. A glimpse of the curious girl of Wonderland, open and alive…
What will you do with the felt knowledge that, with but a breath, you can be anyone?
