- SUMMARY: “The service will be free and open to the public.*Collaborators include members of PONY (Prostitutes of New York), artists from Storahtelling (a Jewish ritual theater company), and local seminarians. All are welcome regardless of age, gender, profession, or the number of times they’ve been born.
The service will focus on Mary Magdalene’s role in the gospel resurrection story, her personal relationship with Jesus, her witness on behalf of the risen Christ, and contemporary sex worker issues. “In my experience,” says Transmission co-founder Bowie Snodgrass, “listening to sex workers tell their stories can blow the lids off morally-loaded religious debates about sex and economics, revealing deep human truths, lives, complexities, and questions.” “The Bible is clear that Jesus hung out with prostitutes,” adds co-founder Isaac Everett.
The service will include performance poetry, modern dance, graffiti art, a live band playing Madonna covers, and much, much, more. “Rather than directing ritual activity,” says Isaac Everett, “we’re creating an interactive environment which will allow people to connect with the Easter story on their own terms and at their own pace. It’s important to us that everyone who comes has an access point, regardless of who they are.”
