Event Description
Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series presents:
Harvard-educated, molecular biologist, visual artist and provocative underground philosopher, Steven Friedman has the answers to life’s big questions.
"A genius philosopher—student of molecular biology—bares all in a one-man autobiographical show" - The New York Times
Phalaris's Bull is a one-of-a kind theatrical event – neither play nor lecture – staged to reflect Friedman’s prismatic and eclectic vision of the world using personal narrative, poetry, art and science to tell the story of a contemporary philosopher’s quest to fulfill Einstein’s ambition “to solve the riddle of the great, big world.”
In a spell-binding and often divisive performance, Friedman offers a solution to the world’s pain – a philosophy reflecting Kierkegaard’s story of an ancient torture device, Phalaris’s bull, that turned the terrible sounds of pain into music.
To create is to enter Phalaris’s bull, and our pain becomes beauty.
