After you asked this question, an answer came to me that I really like. I
think the energy that is tapped into in performance is like a guru
itself. Or a deity. And it has a lot of Kali qualities in it, in that
anything that is unresolved in us will probably be stirred up. It’s kind
of a purification process, and so we have to face all the toxins that
get in the way of us being completely present. Performance like this
taps into the deep places in our soul and uproots anything we’re
clinging to.
