Event description
Josh Kornbluth will perform his latest solo show, "Citizen Brain," in Robin's lovely backyard in the Berkeley Hills on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 4 p.m. This event, and access to the backyard, will be totally outdoors.
At the Global Brain Health Institute, Josh immersed himself in the study of brain disease and wondered if our society was suffering from political dementia. The discovery of the empathy circuit in the brain might be the cure. Can a neurotic storyteller, who flunked every science class in college, spark a science-based revolution of empathy?
Written by Josh Kornbluth, in collaboration with Aaron Loeb, Casey Stangl & David Dower
Directed by Casey Stangl & David Dower
Runtime: 70 minutes.
