Foundation | Babel | Greenbelt 2008

Everyone who enters has to wear a white mask...

Building the tower. Everyone puts on a white mask, and helps to build the [jenga] tower of Babel. But then the Trinity come to see it...

Free. Musical piece [with reference to Bob Dylan]

Anointing. As people are anointed with oil, they discard their masks and take a copy of the Lord's Prayer, each in a different language. The congregation will then read these out simultaneously, illustrating the confusion of languages and its overcoming in God.

At the end we took away key-rings made from small jenga blocks marked with the slogan 'to confuse is to liberate'
