Underground Philosophy: Serpent

Live in Melbourne

Underground Philosophy is where spectators become participants. Experience live philosophy where audience members have the opportunity to ask questions, contribute to the field of meaning, and engage in conversations that venture through the ideas shaping our time.

On Thursday 17th of September, we will return to Caz Reitop’s for an evening on the topic SERPENT.


Serpent

What is the significance of 'serpent' for the psyche?

Can the notion of pharmakon, an Ancient Greek word meaning either / both poison and remedy, shed light on the many ways the symbol of the snake shows up in myth?

Can a deeper understanding of the serpent support a maturation of awareness about the nature of transformation: of renewal, as well as destruction?

Runtime

  • 5.30 - Doors (Gather upstairs in the cocktail lounge)

  • 6.00 - Start (take your seats at 5.55pm downstairs in the Vault)

  • 8.00 - Event End

  • 8.00 - Onwards: Optional speakeasy upstairs in the cocktail lounge. (There's a separate standup comedy event downstairs at 8.30.)

HOW THIS WORKS

In this format of Underground Philosophy, you will take a seat as an audience member in front of a small stage in the underground vault beneath a cocktail bar. Your spoken participation is optional, but throughout, members of the audience, as well as long time members of the Voicecraft network and invited guests, will rotate places in dialogue on stage, facilitated by the host on the evening.

Underground Philosophy is where thought comes to life.

Here we resist the capture of algorithms and dissociating ideology. When we come to Underground Philosophy, we come to connect and experience thinking you can feel—philosophy with soul.
