There is no world without belief. We dream about what believing is, what it would look like, sound like, how it would smell. THE CHURCH of 4 Floors of Whores is a play with the sacred and the profane, a work pondering our place in the world. A sensual and sensitive container for purification, for reflection, for play, for social gathering, for rebirth, for flesh and above all, for life. In a world where individuals yearn for deeper meaning and solace, many find themselves seeking answers and comfort through spiritual practices and borrowed symbols. Recognizing a longing for transcendence, THE CHURCH envisions a worship service that struts to the beat of its own rules. We delve into the logic and magic of creativity, intuition and taboo to conduct a liturgy that embraces the principles of pleasure and replaces convention with extravaganza.
By blending rituals, sacred practices and contemporary theatre, THE CHURCH seeks to encourage dialogue, empathy and contemplation amongst its followers. As an artistic proposal on how to connect with the divine THE CHURCH searches for vulnerability in sins, symbolism on steroids, sensuous seduction and a glimpse of eternity. Hereafter it’s all about connections! THE CHURCH OF 4 FLOORS OF WHORES is a part of Kulkue project, which is a collaboration and co-production between three finnish festivals of the performing arts: ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival (Kuopio), Hangö Teaterträff (Hanko) and Baltic Circle Festival (Helsinki).
