“The great festivals stand as symbols leading us to use our feeling and thinking in order to bring about an experience of the union with the universe, not in an indefinite way but in a most decided fashion. If this is felt again, the festivals become something different from what they are today. They will become implanted in soul and heart in a living way, and they will become what they are intended to be for us, that is, focal points in the year that join us to the spirit of the universe.”
– Rudolf Steiner (GA 54)
“The Mystery Journey of Johannes and Maria” Dramatic Performance on November 14, 2014
On November 14, 2014, Nashville will welcome professional actors from New York, Laurie Portocarrero and Glen Williamson, for a performance of The Mystery Journey of Johannes and Maria, which is currently touring the US and Canada. The play highlights the dramatic relationship between the two main characters of Rudolf Steiner’s Four Mystery Dramas.
Johannes, a young artist, befriended by Maria, the most advanced pupil of a high spiritual master and initiate, seeks his own spiritual development. As he struggles through joy and despair, certainty and illusion, triumph and disaster, his friend accompanies him, guiding him along the path with her own ever-growing strength and love. The drama traces the characters’ paths and destinies from ancient times up to the twentieth century, vividly depicting the interplay of karma and free will at work as human beings struggle to take responsibility for their destiny.
