We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you have questions about accessibility or require an accommodation such as captioning or ASL interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Accessibility Manager Helyn Marshall at accessibility@wexarts.org or via telephone at (614) 688-3890. Requests made by two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the Wexner Center for the Arts will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
Set in a future Brazil where the Evangelical Church controls daily life, the dystopian drama Divine Love follows the story of a woman who uses her government position to save struggling couples from divorce.
The bureaucrat’s efforts to save marriages and get closer to God through the unconventional “sex therapy” practices of the Church of Divine Love are complicated by her desire to conceive a child and improve her own marriage. With its drive-thru chapels and neon-lit evangelical raves, the world of Divine Love presages the trajectory of Brazil’s political and cultural climate under President Jair Bolsonaro.
Gabriel Mascaro's residency in the center’s Film/Video Studio supported the project and it was the result of a partnership with Associação Cultural Videobrasil, São Paulo. Mascaro is also one of the participating filmmakers in the center's Artist Residency Award project Cinetracts '20. (101 mins., digital video). In Portuguese with English subtitles.
