Rat Mass

At the Church of Ratology, we worship rats. Through comedy, performance art, and audience participation, we satirise religious ritual in a glorious festival of rats and trash. Our version of confession is the holy game of Sin Bingo. Our rosary, a cheese-eating competition. Our holy water, vile fluids. Over the course of an hour, we teach the audience to behave like rats – in the process, we hope to tear down the social barriers we all put up as humans. The goal is always to create a feeling of community, however absurd the means.
