Stories from Second Life |
Phorkyad Acropolis has Immaculate Misconceptions
IMMACULATE MISCONCEPTIONS are “the simplistic explanations, half-truths, canonical misinterpretations, and outright disinformation received from the mouths of teachers by Catholic school students.”
In this monologue performance, Phorkyad tells his stories of Catholic grade school and high school, finding the humorous and serious aspects of the positive—and negative—role models of his youth. With references to secular events (such as the Kennedy Assassination and the NASA moon landing), as well as more religious happenings (the world’s oldest nun giving sex advice and, of course, Vatican II and the Baltimore Catechism), Phorkyad seeks to discover how his Catholic school education shaped the college professor he is today.
IM features original music provided by accompanist Thaylon Singh, a long-time collaborator of Phorkyad’s. Thaylon will perform vocal and instrumental pieces on guitar and other instruments. The collaboration has been mostly long-distance over the Internet (as previous collaborations have been), using web pages and audio streaming software to preview possible musical selections.
