Six priests, carrying relics, lead a group of the chosen ones toward a blessed moment—when the illusion they have created for themselves vanishes.
“Desires, Saints, and Other Observations on the Infinity of the World” is a street theater performance inspired by the Baroque era and the works of the 17th-century poet M. K. Sarbievijus.
It is a physical, symbol-laden narrative that gently draws the audience into a ritual reminiscent of a ceremony. The performance lacks a conventional linear narrative from beginning to end—instead, the audience is invited to experience, feel, and interpret.
The performance presents a challenge to the imagination, opening up various interpretations of imagery and spaces of experience.

During the performance, the audience can move freely through the space as the action unfolds around them, thus finding themselves at the center of the temple-dream-mystery being created.
