At this point in the activity, the facilitator transitions the session into the reversal phase, asking participants to switch groups so that those who previously embodied Persephone (Eleusis) now take on the role of Persephone’s Nightmare (atmospheric pollution). The same structure is repeated, sculpture, sound, and movement, but with reversed roles, allowing participants to experience the confrontation from the opposite perspective and deepen their understanding of the emotional and embodied dynamics of the “battle.”
F=Facilitator, P=Participant
F: The confrontation starts again with reversed roles. What was easier? To do the nightmare or Persephone? (Others say one and others the other)
P: Persephone prevails as to which role was easier (8 people) / Nightmare (6)
