When social roles and values are renegotiated, existential questions arise: Who am I? Who can I be? And what can I do to be a good person? In The Greek Passion, the inhabitants of a Greek village are painfully confronted with this after they have distributed the roles for the upcoming passion play. When a group of refugees appear and ask for help, they become increasingly overwhelmed. The Greek Passion deals with the most important themes of our coexistence: humanity and charity. With Greek folklore, Orthodox liturgy and large choral tableaux, it also tells the story in a musically popular way, making it one of the most magnificent and haunting operas of the 20th century.
