Samadhi
Samadhi is an immersive digital dance installation by Fallen Angels Dance Theatre. It has been created with people in recovery from substance use and/or mental health conditions in Chester and Liverpool.
In many Indian religious traditions, Samadhi is described as a state of higher consciousness where the individual mind transcends the limitations of ordinary perception and merges with the universal consciousness.
Samadhi will exclusively preview at Chester Visual Arts Space this September ahead of an extended exhibition for Recoverist Month at The Turnpike Gallery in Leigh. The exhibition, called Beyond The Surface, celebrates 10 years of Chester’s Fallen Angels impactful work in the Greater Manchester town.
Fallen Angels exists to support people in recovery from addiction and those living with a mental health condition to transform their lives and share their recovery journey through dance, performance and creativity.
This activity is made possible through funding from Arts Council England.
