Mustering Back, A Soldier’s Sacred Rite

Kay will be organizing pre-production meetings In January, 2009.

Sacred Play/Ritual Theater: This is a ritual that has theater elements. This is intended to be a purification rite for combat veterans, to allow returning vets to be given the space and time to re-adjust their minds, spirits, and emotions. The ritual allows them to transition out of the battlefield “head space” and back into the civilian world. There is a theater presentation at the beginning, which sets the stage for their journey. They will be taken through different rooms to undergo specific ritual purifications at each area. The venue will be the USS Hornet, and they will be taken through the “Underworld” of the ships passages and rooms to each purification spot. At the end, they re-immerge into a banquet hall.
