Three millennia of passion, despair, and mystical mingling. Live and recorded music from Sappho to Savvopoulos, including rhythmic, poetic verses of Parmenides and Empedocles (who viewed Aphrodite as a trickster goddess). In the spirit of Bacchic Frenzy, group chanting and singing will be encouraged.

A (lapsed) member of Actor's Equity, Jonathan Bricklin has performed in numerous musicals, at venues including BAM and Off-Broadway. He is the author of The Illusion of Will, Self, and Time (SUNY Press), numerous essays for international journals (including a study on Parmenides), and is the editor of Sciousness (a collection of essays on nonduality). Jonathan spent much of his twenties studying Greek at several New York universities and received a Certificate in Advanced Greek Studies from the Latin/Greek Institute in 1982. Since then he has continued to be inspired by ancient and modern Greek culture — especially its poets, songwriters, and singers.
