JOHANNES-PASSION
Calixto Bieito directs a passionate, moving, vital and dazzling musical masterpiece.
Bach’s music is a path towards consolation, liberation and the search for the other. *Johannes-Passion* reflects, in a violent way, the vital journey towards redemption. How does the contemporary human being enter into dialogue with this masterpiece? How do we face pain, our own death, with the dignity of a hero, with the strength of our parents? *Johannes-Passion* is a summit of the history of music and of art. A work filled with humanity and beauty. Bach is our clear and beautiful mirror. Perhaps Bach knew God.
Teatro Arriaga brings back one of its most emblematic projects of recent years. Premiered in 2018 and co-produced by Teatro Arriaga and the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, this staged oratorio directed by Calixto Bieito received an outstanding response from critics and audiences alike, both in Bilbao and in Paris. This is now a wonderful opportunity to experience this masterpiece once again.
