Alone in a barren paradise, God the Father battles dementia along with a bottomless backlog of prayer requests.

Puppet genius... Astonishing... Brilliant & harrowing— One of the most startlingly intense shows I've seen
This raucous and darkly humorous investigation into the secret history of God was produced by La MaMa, opening their 55th season in the Ellen Stewart Theatre in 2016. Exploring the ancient bloody shift from matriarchy to patriarchy with concomitant cosmic regret, The God Projekt uncovers how divine misdeeds have framed our cultural origins.
