The First Episode

We will not go back. We've come too far.  We are not going to give up now.  Together we gather at the twilight of the world we once knew. To honor what has passed and remember who we are… The lucky ones.  Those born to witness modernity’s culmination yet alive to navigate its reckoning.The Cortege is our offering. A dusk-lit procession where art, myth, and ceremony walk side by side.An invitation to emerge from your solitude, Bear witness, and join us beyond the veil. The Cortège is …. A festive funeral for our times.The Cortège Arriving September 2025 Los Angeles, California https://www.thecortege.co/
