About this audio guide
This guide to Peterskapelle, Lucerne's oldest church, follows a modern chapter in an eight-hundred-year-old building: the repeated theft of a Bible reworked with a queer reading of its stories. The book began with a reading group that layered transparent overlay pages onto an old Zurich-language edition, and it still sits on a plain stand near the entrance, guestbook beside it. Best heard standing at that stand, under the chapel's old crucifix.
