“How are we Individuals?” We start with the movie “Sully,” starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood about how Chesley Sullenberge landed an airplane in New York’s Hudson River and saved the lives of 155 people. We then look at how the Percival myth is alive in us today through “Sully” and other movies, including “Stagecoach,,” “The Maltese Falcon,” “Roddick,” “Bourne,” etc.

But is that what we really want? Or do we we want to be engaged in the world, feel energies coursing through us. In this show we call on both van Gogh and Dr. Who to understand Joy.
