“The performers wear the vestments, not of priests but of medieval bedlam idiots, who are called upon by circumstance to celebrate a Mass even though they do not know how. Moving easily between the sublime and the ridiculous, drawing its audience through laughter toward participation and contemplation, the work resists being categorized as either theater or religion, becoming both at once in an event experienced by many as transformative. As they stand beside these grotesque characters in prayer, worshipers begin to participate in the liturgy with new understanding.”
Rex Deverell, from The Encyclopedia of Religion

“Dzieci is a wonderful example of the spiritual intensity possible when theatre engages the age-old mysteries of faith and the human experience. We at the Cathedral found the very stones of our monumental building coming alive through their presence.”
Canon Tom Miller, Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine
