Neither kinky parties nor Beyoncé have succeeded in cracking the hard core of the millennia-old Roman Catholic tradition—a tradition that continually legitimises itself through the repeated performance of rituals. A tradition that systematically excludes, among others, women and queers. But now we say: enough with the Vatican – it’s time to open the Muttikan.
MUTTIKAN appropriates the Roman Catholic Mass as a performative format and develops a secular counter-model to it. Marco Merenda, Linda Lou Dierich-Matzke, and Christopher Ramm guide the audience through experiences that mischievously sneak new meanings into the actions and proceedings of the Mass. Catholic rituals and liturgical choreographies are translated on three interconnected levels: ritual-symbolic, content-based, and spatial-choreographic.
