Michele Zaccaria narrator
New version based on the original production by Gulbenkian Fundation, Lisbon (March 2015)
The French directors Clarac-Deloeuil present a new performance of music, video and theatre. The narrator Michele Zaccaria, placed high up behind a pulpit, preaches and tells of different literary stories while seven short films play out in the background. The subjects of the films are from Jerusalem, each with different ages, origins, and religions. They are filmed while they listen, for the first time, to the musical masterpiece of Haydn.
