Her Abracadabra performance beautifully captures the final step of her rebirth process. We see Gaga dressed in all red, representing the final transmutation step, Rubedo. As she has stated in her interview, her album Mayhem is about rebirth, and she was only able to experience this rebirth process once she accepted her inner demons. We see her inner demons put on display in her Abracadabra performance (above picture). Putting her demons on display is an act of acceptance – she accepts that they are a part of her being, and she shows that by putting them on display for the world to see. Furthermore, freeing her demons and allowing them to perform with her shows that she not only accepts them as being a part of her being, but also that she is at peace with them being a part of her being. She accepts herself in her entirety.
