Le Jeu — in French, "the play" — is where every journey in Psyche's Cabaret begins. In English, the word suggests children's games and leisure; in French, it carries the deeper flavour of spontaneous improvisation, of a body and imagination set loose.

Here, in Psyche's Cabaret, Le Jeu is nothing less than our capacity for transformation itself. Many people who seek this kind of inner work do so because they have lost contact with an aliveness they once knew — a child running, inventing, feeling pleasure without apology. Life accumulates its careful habits, its armour, its long rehearsed ways of being.
