As Far as my memory, collected from 12 years ago could tell, There were these Hindu temples connected to Astrology-the astronomical agenda of the solar system directing rituals for the peoples who thereby are a secret actor in a cosmic play. Parallel worlds on macro and meso levels. Temples structures Reflecting gnostic knowledge of the human body, chacra systems paralel to solar system. An arhcetypical psycology? Could diving into these rituals bring me closer to understand source drama of human experience? "Mysteries were imbedded in ancient comedies and tragedies, Initiation Rituals. To really understand a work of Theatre one must go back to the roots and investigate the meaning behind each acting." This ancient form or root of theatre is of a participating nature, Performers or priests merely perform their duty, from centuries back from father to son. Facing the gods so turning back on their audience. Performing an initiated ritual in your name to the god of your choice. Sun on sunday with wheat and lotus flowers for vitality and autonomy, moon on monday for family growth and streaming consciousness, each day of the week for a different fysical/psycological quality. Were I to discover an essence to the story of the world? Orbital,- or divine choreography choreocosmos? Were not the seven sinnes and the seven malefic or dark sides of the planetgods, pride envy wrath sloth, greed gluttony and lust all connected to these prayer rituals? With their counterparts faith hope, charity, prudence, temperance, fortitude and Justice the object of offering ? Were those rituals to meet up with the seven human rights? The right to have space, the right to feel, the right to act, the right to be loved, the right to speak the truth, the right to see, The right to know... 7 angels, 7 colours of the rainbow,7 samourai, 7 sephiroth, 7 realms of plato, 7 ages, a sorrows, 7 seal... Only in Hindu Astology there are 9 planets and since the discovery of uranus we count 10 (all inclusive sun and moon of course) no perfect system but how close does universalim come? In search for the source of an attitude to work theatre and film stories I wished to develop my insight and vocabulary and travelling a most perfect to observe society from a distance, to be detatched from our own daily rituals and illusionary small world. View the world from a larger perspective. Was I taking an antropologists point of view or following the roots of a universal knowledge? was I in search for an encounter of my European Cosmopolitan 2005 Hindu new age perspective? (not American commercial new age but European cosmological- gnostic position of free thinking).
