In this immersive, participatory gathering, Nocturnal Medicine – a nonprofit studio for climate consciousness and cultural transformation founded by Larissa Belcic and Michelle Farang Shofet – invites the sensual body into an experiment in the sermon. How do you deliver a message? How do you gather around darkness while illuminating pleasure? Playing in the space between religious service and performance art, working in collaboration with the audience, Nocturnal Medicine spins their tried methods and ideologies into an experimental practice that transcends the intellectual and awakens the body subconscious.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Nocturnal Medicine is a nonprofit studio for climate consciousness and cultural transformation. Founded by Larissa Belcic and Michelle Farang Shofet in 2016, the collective makes new ways of gathering for the worlds of today and tomorrow. Their practice centers the regeneration of our relationships – with Earth, with each other, and with ourselves. Amongst Nocturnal Medicine’s body of work, they have created sanctuaries for ecological grief, climate-aware seasonal rites, chapels for extinction, and raves for public healing. Their work has been celebrated in The New York Times and CityLab as bringing a cutting-edge, soul-centered approach to addressing the psycho-emotional impacts of climate crisis. They have designed and produced immersive social experiences across diverse platforms, including in nightlife (Nowadays, Gospel), cultural institutions (Lincoln Center, Performance Space New York), and at universities across the country (MIT, UVA, Yale).
