Knight Hall and Bauer Hall, John M. Olin School of Business
https://rap.wustl.edu/events/earthalujah-reverend-billy/Join us for the second event in our series “Reverent Irreverence: Parody, Religion, and Contemporary Politics.”
What began as a televangelist parody twenty-five years ago has grown into a radical performance community of international renown, the Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping. Whether taking the stage at Burning Man, performing at Zuccotti Park, or opening for Neil Young, Reverend Billy and his choir have become widely recognized prophetic voices questioning the gods of the market. William Talen (aka Reverend Billy) will be joined by his long-time collaborator Savitri D, the artistic director of the Stop Shopping Choir. In recent years they have worked together on building a new community in New York City known as Earth Church.
This event is free and open to all, no tickets required. General admission seating—first come, first served. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. We hope you will join us for a reception immediately following the conversation.
