The Prisoner (NHB Modern Plays)

Brook Peter, Marie-Hélène Estienne

Sinossi

Somewhere in the world, a man sits alone outside a prison. Who is he, and why is he there? Is it a choice, or a punishment?
With The Prisoner, the internationally renowned theatre director Peter Brook and his long-time collaborator Marie-Hélène Estienne ask provocative and profound questions about justice, guilt, redemption – and what it means to be free.
The Prisoner opened at Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, Paris, in March 2018, before an international tour which included performances at the Edinburgh International Festival, the National Theatre of Great Britain, and Theatre for a New Audience in New York.
'The most pioneering theatre director of the twentieth century' Independent on Peter Brook
'Only its mystery equals the simplicity of this strange fable' - Le Monde
'The force of the show lies precisely in its ellipses, the empty spaces it offers to our emotions, sensations and to our intelligence' - Télérama
'During one hour and fifteen minutes, the Earth stops spinning at its maddening speed, to allow Brook to whisper in our ear one of his beautiful universal stories' - Les Echoes
'The work of an artist for whom the human heart has no secrets and who knows the revealing and consoling force of theatre' - Le Figaroscope

Yoga The Science Of Self...

Justin Wesenberg

Yoga is a poetry book about the different paths you can take to self realization and enlightenment. For those who are seeking the most aligned path to find their True Self.
This inspirational poetry book dives into the different yogic paths that lead to self realization and enlightenment.
Yoga The Science Of Self Realization is a poetry book about finding enlightenment through the practice of yoga. Yoga is the art and science of direct experience with the ONE that is infinite and eternal. By coming into union with the eternal source we learn to embody these qualities in our lives.
This book explores the three paths of yoga outlined in the Bhagavad Gita: jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge, bhakti yoga, the yoga of love, and karma yoga, the yoga of action. Any of these paths can lead one towards enlightenment, and they can also be used cohesively for faster spiritual growth.
When we come to know our true selves as energetic beings of light we will no longer be bound to the wheel of karma and the vagaries of the material world, this is true freedom. The highest goal of human life is to feel free. Anyone can find freedom through yoga and it makes no distinctions on age, gender, or religion, it is universal in it’s application.
Yoga helps you reach your infinite potential by helping you see the light within us all…
