When the old life ends — but the new one hasn't begun …

From forced labor to willing hearts — the Book of Exodus ends where it truly begins.

After the collapse of all boundaries at the Golden Calf, Ki Tissa offers an ancient 'Source Code' for a moral society—and a warning about what happens when humans become interchangeable with machines.

Vaeira traces the slow unraveling of a world that can no longer endure, and asks what it takes to be drawn out from the very heart of its collapse.
