afterword:
For Chocolate Apocalypse, the intention is less inner healing for its own sake, but mythic activism.

The work invites artists to let inner processes collide with the outer world. Not to self-soothe, but to intervene. To use film, embodiment, satire, ritual and absurdity as tools to question, expose, or re-enchant. Easter is the chosen fault line. A season loaded with contradictions:
crucifixion and resurrection, death and rebirth, obedience and miracle, sacrifice and consumption. Beneath Christianity lie older pagan technologies of fertility, soil, animal kinship, eggs, hares, blood, spring, risk. These symbols were never meant to be tin-wrapped and eaten mindlessly. They were meant to be tended, honoured, and lived with. The Chocolate Apocalypse names the moment when sacred fertility symbols are cannibalised by consumer culture. The Egg and the Hare are flattened into sugar, wrapped in foil, sold, devoured, and forgotten, while ecosystems collapse and bodies are disciplined by patriarchal mythologies of suffering, guilt, and salvation.

So more of an artistic inquiry into power, belief, inheritance, and refusal.
Rather than healing alone, it aims for symbolic sabotage, poetic activism, and ritualised critique.

Chocolate Apocalypse is an invitation to make work that is playful, uncomfortable, funny, devout, heretical, and alive to the world it is responding to.
