Embrace of Discomfort

A Surreal Exploration of Freedom

In a world where comfort is often synonymous with complacency, “Embrace of Discomfort” aims to ponder the paradoxical yet surreal nature of freedom within the confines of societal norms. At its core, the performance serves as a mirror reflecting the tension between individual expression and societal expectations.

Are we prisoners of our own making, trapped in the illusion of comfort and security? Is discomfort merely a catalyst for growth, a necessary step on the path to enlightenment?
