Blood on the Cedars addresses the imperial conquest of nature and connects the feral theatricality of the Hebrew prophets to contemporary resistance movements. Combining storytelling, song, movement and music- integrating the scholarship of Ched Myers with the brazen poetry of Jim Perkinson- the call of the wild comes alive in this theatrical depiction of an ancient story that continues to be our story. Come and worship and be entertained.

“We were made to enjoy music, to enjoy beautiful sunsets, to enjoy looking at the billows of the sea and to be thrilled with a rose that is bedecked with dew… Human beings are actually created for the transcendent, for the sublime, for the beautiful, for the truthful… and all of us are given the task of trying to make this world a little more hospitable to these beautiful things.” Desmond Tutu
