A village participates in the passion play showing the relevance of a story everyone knows since childhood. Filmed on Good Friday 2018 this video shows the play between the audience, some dressed as extras, some as mobile lighting, and others also documenting the event, against the drama portrayed. The original composition by Leo Walton simultaneously adds metaphor and realism to the flow of the constantly dissolving points of view.
This footage was a chance encounter two days into a 6 week residency in Irsina in southern Italy which became a means for getting to know the cleaners, recent refugees, shopkeepers, priests and in particular the photographers of this town of 5000. The film shows the involvement of everyone from all walks of life. A Baha'i herself, religious subject matter in relation to today's world is a recurring theme in Sonja's artworks.
