2PM
CHANNELING SERIAL KILLERS

In this discussion, Rebecca will explore the complex nature of notorious serial killers by channeling their spirits. She will delve into the duality of these individuals—highlighting both the darkness that defines some of them and the more nuanced, often misunderstood aspects of others. By providing insights into their backgrounds, motivations, and experiences, Rebecca aims to challenge the audience’s perceptions of evil. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding of these figures, illustrating that while some may embody true malevolence, others may represent tragic stories of lost potential and emotional turmoil. Through this exploration, she hopes to evoke empathy and provoke thought on the broader themes of humanity, morality, and redemption.
