Four contemporary Greek writers paraphrase the gospel writers and other sacred texts accompanied by the famous piano improvisationist Antonis Anissegos. Dialog with the sacred texts has inspired creative outpourings over the centuries, producing some of literature’s greatest masterpieces. Engaging in direct dialog with the gospel writers Evgenios Aranitsis, Giorgos Koropoulis, Ersi Sotiropoulou, and Yiannis Makridakis present their own creative take on the core texts of the Christian tradition, creating new ones to be presented on stage by acclaimed stage actress Rania Oikonomidou.
