In The Cathedral, Alain envisions the church as both temple and theater, where architecture and ritual elevate human spirit above the mundane. Contrasting frivolous entertainment with profound drama, he explores how humanity’s eternal struggle with justice, nature, and fate finds its truest expression in sacred spaces, awaiting a new, unified art to capture the soul of modernity.
