Live from the End of the World
On December 21, 2012 the World was supposed to end
The ancient calendar of the Mayan culture was running out, and people around the globe took it for an apocalyptic prophecy. We used the occasion to create a ceremony for the end of the world to allow for an examination of the apocalypse as a cultural and historical phenomenon and as scenarios that actually threaten our existence. A reminder of humanity’s ability to understand its own mortality and a celebration of life and companionship while we’re here.
