MISSA POPULI

March, 2010

conceived and directed by Eric Meyer

This ain’t grace - this all fucked - this old thing. God is dead or dying, and all we have left is our broken and battered selves and the question we rode in on. Why. MISSA POPULI is a reclaiming of the Catholic Mass—an exploration and undermining from within—dissected and rebuilt in the guise of performance and the name of humanity. Combining the sacrifice, transcendence, blood and circumstance of the original with history, live music, science, dance, literature and pop culture to find a wholly modern communion experience that is all human. This is the People’s Mass.

She is a plain and pensive woman. He is a rather ordinary man who lives in an extraordinary house. This house does algebraic equations and plots violence. According to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle one can never be exactly sure of both the velocity and the position of a particle. People (and houses) cannot always find out what they want to know. Uncertainty prevails. One evening, woman, man, and house collide; not all of them survive.
