Ecumenica editor David Mason talks with Cláudio Carvalhaes, Professor of Worship at Union Theological Seminary, about Carvalhaes’s play When Wajcha Meets Pachamama, in which, with others, he has performed in New York City, and around the world. The play involves a clown named Wajcha who searches for the means of healing a wound that he has discovered in the earth and in himself. In the conversation, Carvalhaes articulates his ideas about the relationship between theatrical performance, ritual, prayer, and play, and explains how the earth depends on a transformation of human consciousness and identity
