Sitting somewhere between theology and comedy, this performance where stand-up and early music co-exist on an equal footing, attempts to use utterly unexpected tools to grapple with two important theological concepts. The evening explores ‘Fools for Christ’ who would go beyond the bounds of reason and what was socially acceptable to come into more direct contact with the divine. Stand-up comedian and librettist Dimitris Dimopoulos meets early music ensemble Ex Silentio on stage, conducted by Dimitris Kountouras.

*As part of the festival “Sacred Music Days” (March 23 – April 9, 2017 / Program selection: Giorgos Koumendakis – Markellos Chryssicos).

The GNO’s Alternative Stage opens its introductory season at the SNFCC with a series of events dedicated to one of the most important subjects in the history of music: worship. The festival will be presented annually every Easter period. The first cycle is about “Human and Holy Passion”.
