OH FAITH is a performative mass situated between music theatre, concert, and ritual. At its core lies doubt, understood not as a deficiency, but as a liturgical force. “À la gloire des sceptiques” (“to the glory of the skeptics”), the production explores origin, finitude, and the longing for grounding in a time when certainties are dissolving. Between rational knowledge and spiritual searching, OH FAITH  transforms uncertainty into a collective experience.

Built as an agnostic mass, a ritual gathering as immersive music theatre,  for a community of non-believers, doubters, and, of course, believers. A ritual community is developed – as a temporary church for the city visited.

Priests, doubters, and a cinematic motet choir guide the audience through a sequence of short sermons, arias, chorales  and ritual acts. Doubt is shared, amplified chorally, and transformed, marking a passage toward a “religion of life.”

Friedrich Nietzsche’s amor fati meets the poetic prayer of Rose Ausländer; René Descartes’ cogito encounters a Johann Sebastian Bach chorale and pop culture., Improvisation, and interventions disrupt liturgical rigidity, opening a space between ceremony and community.

Stage and costume merge field church, brutalism, and rave temple, while the filmed projection of the choir intensifies the immersive experience. OH FAITH is conceived as a tourable installation, unfolding from Leipzig into churches, fields, theatres, and festival spaces.
