Towards the ecstasy of May

A performance made at Dorchester Abbey, Oxfordshire. The audience is led on a torch-lit procession to a carving of the Green Man (a pagan figure appearing in many churches). On arrival the woman leading them appears transfixed by his face. Her breathing builds to a climax, when confetti, petals and mini eggs fall from her dress. She then disappears through a door under the Green Man, leaving the audience to indulge in an impromptu communal feast of chocolate gathered from the altar steps.
