Another premiere for The Holy Gasp remarkable video.👇😊 So proud.

07/23/2024

Catch The Holy Gasp upclose tonight, July 23rd.

Dante Alighieri wrote in his famous Inferno, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter." The entrance to which he was referring was the entrance of Hell. Several centuries later, Derek Jensen defined hope as "a longing for a future condition over which you have no agency; it means you are essentially powerless."

Tomorrow, July 23rd, you're invited to Be M.E. with The Holy Gasp at Pamenar for our first and only Meaningful Encounter of the season. For an hour, we'll discuss the means by which each of us might strive towards empowering ourselves through abandoning hope, and replacing hope with agency--agency to choose for ourselves those things we identify as personally meaningful, and we'll see, too, whether we can cultivate lives for ourselves in accordance with those values inseparable from the Meaning we select for ourselves. To aid us, we'll psychodramatic techniques--namely, an ensemble of musicians charged with the task of live scoring our passages to and from Hell, and a Spectre of Death, there to remind us for the end times of the body, and the urgency we each face to live lives with Meaning.

You're encouraged to get your tickets in advance, as space is indeed limited. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow:
