PSYCHOMAGIC: A HEALING ART

Alejandro Jodorowsky, filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist, created a theory of trauma therapy. His unique concept of healing uses performance art as a vehicle to counter deep, debilitating psychic suffering with literal acts of confrontation in real world applications.

Jodorowsky’s most recent film plunges into the Chilean auteur’s distinctive approach to trauma known as psychomagic: “a therapy through acts.” A raw, intimate, and unusual look at art’s capacity to heal the most painful of wounds, which also submerges viewers into Jodo’s unique, esoteric mythology.
