Sacral Essays is a site-specific performance that will be experienced in Alppila Church on 20-23 August 2025.The work explores where we can gather together to deal with existential, joy and sorrow and cosmic issues of life as part of everyday life. The Alppila church is the setting for the work and an example of a wider phenomenon where many modern churches built in the 1960s and 1990s are being demolished or closed due to low use and structural problems.
