Circus of the Self Film Screening and Dallas Premiere


Texas Theatre

After 6 years of production, two monks from different parts of the world are releasing and touring their collaborative movie and music album. Kavi Karnapura (England) is the director of Circus of the Self, an experimental silent film about a girl with a circus in her head and seeking self realization. Bhagavan Narada (Bryan Hamilton TX) scored and also acted in the film. His album under alias "Aliens WITH Halos" is a corresponding release inspired by the film. "Aliens WITH Halos" was voted "Best Electronic Band in San Antonio." The experimental music and film carry psychedelic overtones and deep messages of self awareness and enlightenment.

Film synopsis:

A girl with a circus in her head struggles for sanity and self realization. After a circus tragedy, she is haunted by three ghosts who possess her mind, intelligence and false ego. Her life slides out of control, but she is given strength by an Indian mystic who guides her through allegorical obstacles.

In a final battle with the carnival animals of ignorance, passion and goodness, she must strive for life beyond matter- beyond the Circus of the Self!

This film was directed and produced by Kavi Karnapura Das and Bhagavan Narada Das in the summer of 2013 in San Antonio. This project is Bhakti based and is driven by the message of Self Realization. We hope you enjoy our experimental vision and can spread the word in your local community!
