but when you hear it , you hear it…"
The Revelation of "Hypnotta"
The word Hypnotta came to me while waking one early morning . I had never heard this word before.
Was this word, a creation of my mind, or a message from another realm I brought back with me ?
In the days to follow I began to feel guided.
I would create and write a show that would encapsulate my music style, along with my lifelong fascination with UFOS, the spirit world and the unknown.
"Hypnotta" the show's title alludes to the profound connection between reality and our dream state.
-Doug Auld, Playwright
