La Jetée

La Jetée is an operatic adaptation of the classic movie by Chris Marker which has inspired countless artists, including Terry Gilliam in 12 Monkeys. A man is sent back and forth in time by pseudo-scientific experimenters to find a solution to the world's fate after the devastation of a world war. He is haunted by his memories and enthralled with a woman from the past with whom he'd like to have a future. But the past isn't so easy to escape.

Encounter!

The liturgical mass is traditionally an opportunity to observe God’s majesty and participate in the Divine’s invitation to be both sustained and commissioned to serve. It is an encounter, if you will, with the Source of love and creation. We present you a non-traditional multi-faith version of a mass and then a more traditional but contemporary mass. May your rendezvous be enlightening.
