Is it fun?

PlayJoyAbsurdity

This is where we embrace the cosmic joke, where absurdity is medicine, and the fools are holy. Because life is the grandest cabaret on earth, perfection is a lie and the best way to fight the madness is to dance in it.

Reach for SHOW when the heaviness needs an emergency release valve, and you've forgotten that angels fly because they take themselves lightly. When the laughter has done its work, GROW is where the courage lives.

The Great Naked King • SHOWsutra Psychedelick Fools Cabaret EPx30

30 tracks · 49 min 21 sec

Thirty tracks of holy fooling around, anchored in the oldest trick in the book: the crowd convinced that what it cannot see is proof of its own unworthiness. Andersen wrote the parable in 1837. Chaplin filmed it in 1940. Banana sings it now, across flamenco techno, French tango jazz, gipsy burlesque, and Americana blues. Laughter as the seriousness that has nothing left to lose; be the great fool worth being.

The fool is not stupid. The fool is free. Songs in praise of cracked things, wiggling things, and the holy comedy of being human.

Now what?

The laughter has done its work and the heaviness has lifted. Now you’ve got enough light to look at the harder questions. GROW is where joy becomes courage, empathy in an apathetic world.
