Alejandro Jodorowsky
"Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness."
Peel the Author
A Chilean-born filmmaker, writer, and psychomagician, Alejandro Jodorowsky (b. 1929) has spent his life turning wounds into symbols. His work crosses film, theatre, tarot, comics, and poetry — all united by a single pursuit: to heal through imagination.
Famous for his cult films (El Topo, The Holy Mountain), Jodorowsky also writes with the same volcanic intensity. His pages explode with grotesque humour, mystic allegory, and unexpected tenderness. In them, the absurd becomes sacred, and the sacred absurd — both are tools for awakening.
Voice
“To know yourself is to forgive the universe.”
His voice oscillates between confession and commandment — a surreal sermon that ends in a whisper. Beneath his theatricality lies a surprising gentleness: a desire to reconcile human chaos with divine order. He writes like a man who has seen the world end and decided to make art out of its ashes.
