“SATORI
CIRCUS is easily the Best Performance Art Group Detroit has produced.
It should be seen if only to witness a New Direction in Art.” -
Detroit Free Press
On Friday and
Saturday, June 12th
and 13th,
2015, SATORI
CIRCUS will
present a new performance art piece titled, “Dbwe’
inini” in
the Hastings theatre space at the Tangent Gallery / Hastings Street
Ballroom.
The
show is a collaboration between SC and dear friends Brian Dambacher
(Funy
As Hell,
63mins,
poems we tell ourselves)
and Tim Suliman (MOSES:39,
Child-Proof,
poems we tell ourselves).
“Dbwe’
inini” is
a new performance piece, with all original words, music and visuals.
It’s a story and performance dissimilar from other SATORI CIRCUS’
performances where the narrator, SC, takes the audience on a guided
tour through the individual and united journeys of a family. They
work through building and maintaining a happy home, keeping sane at
work, raising children, and solidifying identities; all while
dreaming, loving and hoping, growing and persevering.
“Satori
Circus is the Theatre of the Absurd - on Mars.” – Real Detroit
Weekly
“New
York City has the Blue Man Group, Detroit has SATORI CIRCUS.” -
Chris Jaszczak
The title of the
performance art piece “Dbwe’ inini” means ‘man who looks for
truth, and is from the large group of Native Americans, the Ojibwe
(also Ojibwa), or Chippewa, who were found in Canada and the United
States. Many were formerly located around the outlet of Lake
Superior. This name was given to SC by a friend, because it plays off
the Zen term Satori,
which loosely means pure illumination, pure truth.
Co-performers-
Tim Suliman, Lushes LaMoan, Sofia Syntaxx and Sean Redenz will
interact with, change the perspective of, move and maybe even scold
the audience.

“A
love for the absurd, SATORI CIRCUS is a singularly uncanny
theatre-going experience that’s a little bit Performance Art and a
little bit Rock Opera.” - Metro Times
