In the Psycheverse
Psyche engages with cult dynamics as both satirical framework and serious subject, naming her own show as a "cult" while using music, poetry, and direct commentary to examine how devotion, manipulation, and transformation operate within spiritual communities. The show oscillates between celebrating ritual communion and interrogating the psychological mechanisms that bind followers to leaders, treating cult dynamics as a mirror for understanding belief, belonging, and the blurred line between spiritual practice and exploitation.
