From the ancient mythological tradition of storytelling where love&death become one(see: Adam&&Eve, Hades&&Persephone, Romeo&&Juliet, Swan&&Lake etc) comes a MORMON AS HELL love story contributing its befanged grimace to the centuries old theatrical public vilification of a popular romance novel, and subsequent obsessive moral policing of young women’s desires…

Yes, that is correct, we are screening Stephanie Meyer’s smash hit TWILIGHT.

TWILIGHT is everything we fear about romance and sexuality; the excess, irrationality, transgression, violence, loss of self-possession, violation of boundaries, and total dissolution into the limerent fantasy. With its release both as a book and as a film, TWILIGHT viciously grasped the culture by the base of the tail, plunging adults into panic & teens into horned up reverie. Upon the film’s release, the National Domestic Violence Hotline put out an exposé outlining how TWILIGHT met all of its criteria for an abusive relationship. (Ring Ring! Hello? It’s Me again, Problematic Fantasy :/ ) And yet, like its many, many predecessors, TWILIGHT took the culture and imaginations of young people by storm, producing infinite gossip columns, fanfics (see: 50 Shades of Grey)& manic obsessions as yet another general confirmation thru art of What We Really Are. It ultimately begs the question: what do we want from life? From romance? From Fantasy as Technology? Could the answer be age gaps? Stalking? Infanticide? Battle Volvo? Cuck tent? The Lion falling in love with the Lamb?

The answer to this question and many, many more will be at Non Plus Ultra on April 4th, 2026 at 7:30pm.
