The relationship between the development of human culture and religion is inextricable. As far back as society reaches so does religion, why? How has religion benefited humanity at times and at others seemed to have done more harm than good? The history of society and religion is so long and vast that having an accurate perspective seems impossible, but perhaps through showcasing this relationship in story we may come to develop our understanding of it. I want to tell the ultra-condensed story of humanity’s relationship with religion from as unbiased a perspective as possible. This project will begin with a research project on the history and anthropology of religion and then that research will be formatted into a play. Staging approaches will be inspired by Grotowski’s “poor theatre”.
