A huge performance looks like a collective sharing. But I think it’s much more interesting than that. The performer is somebody who has spent years mostly in isolation, mastering and understanding an art that in turn involves a deeper understanding of the world. That huge crowd is drawn to the magical truths that isolation found and is expressing. It’s the magical truths found in the performer’s isolation that makes their act amazing to us, and draws the crowd to the event. Really this massive social event is one performer sharing the magical realities of the universe, with thousands who can’t access them. It’s a celebration of solitude and knowledge.
