Following “Fear and Trembling” by Kierkegaard
Revisiting a familiar story like we have never seen before – The Binding of Isaac.
And again, our eyes are raised toward that mountain and again the same command – sometimes like a nightmare, sometimes like an eternal journey towards a distant redemption; three souls, one family. A memory that does not forget. A voice that does not fade. A child who is left alone. Waiting.
“And it came to pass after these things, that God tested Abraham, and Abraham said unto him, here am I.”
This is a stage adaptation of the book by the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, one of the founding fathers of existentialist thought, who embarked on a journey into the depths of his soul and the abysses of his faith through the story of the Akedah – and wrote it time and again.
