ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

The story of Jesus’ birth, childhood and youth,

as you’ve never heard it before.

Harmonizing the conflicting accounts of Matthew and Luke,

this saga weaves the threads of many traditions into an intimate but also cosmic drama.

Adam and Eve, Moses,

Adonis, Osiris, Isis, Apollo,

Krishna, Buddha and Zarathustra

all appear in this sometimes astonishing retelling of the greatest story ever told.

☼ ☼ ☼

Based on the Gospels and the work of spiritual researcher Rudolf Steiner and theologians Emil Bock and Edward R. Smith.
