For God is a very personal and politically loaded solo about the female body and religion. Its Scandinavian minimalistic aesthetics leave much room for the audience to contribute their relationships to religions. The performer's movement, gestures, and gazes shift swiftly from submission to sovereignty, getting inspiration from Soili’s embodied experience of Christianity and art history. The performance also weaves together the ideas of royalty and church through movement, hinting towards a horizontal connectedness of different societal phenomena that are knitted together in religion, and the upholding of it.
