Harry Rob Bruner - Nephew of the Universe
Description
Harry Rob Bruner’s spiritual journey is a significant aspect of his life and creative work. In his solo show, Nephew of the Universe, Bruner delves into his experiences growing up within a renowned spiritual organization that his family helped establish. His aunt played a pivotal role in bringing the guru Sri Chinmoy to America, leading to the formation of a worldwide spiritual movement. Bruner’s performance offers a heartfelt and, at times, whimsical narrative of his twenty years in this Queens, New York-based meditation group. He candidly shares the challenges he faced, including the struggle with celibacy”a condition of discipleship”and his internal conflict between spiritual commitments and personal desires, such as his ambition to become a rock star. The show combines music, visuals, and storytelling to provide insight into his unique upbringing and the complexities of balancing spiritual life with personal aspirations.
