Black Moon Theatre Company presents BLISS based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead at The Flea which embodies adventurous theatre Off-Off Broadway. In this new multi-disciplinary production, Artistic Director Rene Migliaccio staged the story through dance, voice, visual projections, and music.

Bliss follows a man’s cycle of life based on the theory of reincarnation performed by Alessio Bordoni. The journey began when he became conscious during the interval between death and rebirth. He was shadowed by a Butoh dancer, Charlotte Colmant, who represented his supra consciousness on the path of liberation from his former body so that he could successfully enter a new body. Between death and rebirth, as the man was striving to awaken to a Higher Consciousness, he experienced a wide spectrum of moods from dark to ethereal. Pictorial screen projections, in front of the performer and dancer, symbolized the various stages of his journey. Music accompanied the actor as he recited his journey. Altogether, this visual and poetic dance odyssey served as an allegorical guide for the living— when all of us will one day cross to the other side of the veil continuing the cycle of reincarnation.

Bliss was written, produced, directed, and performed with the spirit of adventure and is for like-minded audience members and those with open minds.
