Ceremonies 17 September 11, 2008

These are ceremonies we devise to explain our place in the cosmos. The style of performance is a combination of techniques taken from traditional Asian zen theatre and Western circus and carnival shows. Much of the play, as experienced by the players within a mechanism of fate they cannot understand, is an enigma. For with a formal sense of ceremony, we transcend and sanctify the enigma, never exactly mastering the entire situation. Sometimes events remain unexplained, as when someone may narrate again and again the experience of finding a familiar restaurant transformed, offering items on the menu which may never be seen again.
