The Comforter
Part shamanistic ritual, part subversive sermon, part game show, part lecture demonstration, The Comforter has the provocative quality of an intimate one to one performance and a rowdy revivalist rally. This highly participatory-performance-rite-of passage reclaims spirituality and proposes a new perspective on church.
Loosely based upon the films of Ingmar Bergman’s ‘Faith’ Trilogy, the piece touches upon holy ‘penetration’, missionary style and what it means to be fully human.
