A DRAGON SENT ME TO ARMENIA: A Special Live Eye Wonder Episode from London

This one was recorded live on stage in London — the show’s first-ever live Eye Wonder — and almost nothing went according to plan. Mel and Matías hadn’t seen each other in six weeks, the original Peru-and-Disney script got thrown out two days before, and what came out instead was the full, unhinged story of where Matías had recently been: Armenia. It starts in a dragon cave in Kauai, Hawaii, where Matías received a very precise instruction — go to Armenia on April 26th — and unspools from there into bees, archangels, magnetic fields, and the molecule of water. He explains why “dragon” is just the Greek word for the one who observes, how archangels are really angles of light bending in gravitational fields, and why the whole planet is a hive with a misplaced queen bee. Then there’s the part where he drives to the Armenia–Iran border, dodges the military, and lays honey and toothpaste along the mountains — on the exact day marking 111 years since the Armenian Genocide. Plus: why a particle collider may have “broken the eye of God,” the pineal gland as the philosopher’s stone, brakes that failed in the middle of nowhere, and a hotel called Honey & Earth that had no business existing. Part one of three, recorded live in London. Equal parts cosmic download and complete chaos.
