Embracing the Absurd for Societal Transformation

Michael Kliën wants to help bring about profound change in the world, but not through the usual means. An Austrian-born Dance professor at Duke University, Kliën is a leading social choreographer. He sets up experiments involving people moving amongst each other -- wordlessly -- in pursuit of new ways of being and the "soul democratic." 

By Scene on Radio host and producer John Biewen. Music by goodnight, Lucas and Blue Dot Sessions. 

Scene on Radio is a production of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University.
