According to Matthew A DRAMATIC CHORAL LITURGY UNBOUND

Holy Wednesday a Photo Album

For Easter, 2012, Dzieci Theatre was invited to work with a small group of nuns at The Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, CT to create a Passion for their Holy Week. The experience was life-changing for all involved, and inspired Dzieci to seek the essence of this sacred ritual. Beginning with the earliest translations of the liturgy, and relying heavily on the Aramaic Peshitta, the group has integrated Hebraic song and chant, and ritual elements of Judaism, and set their revision in the shadow of the Warsaw Ghetto.

The result is A Passion, a dramatic choral liturgy unbound.

Whether Christian or Jew or Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or Zen, A Passion appeals to the human spirit in everyone and our essential desire for communion.
