Conceived and composed by Gerard Brophy, Gethsemane refers to the place where Christ faces the realization of his imminent death. Using the traditional Jeremiah lamentations, as well as contemporary accounts of life on the streets of Calcutta today, this major new work interweaves music, spoken word and ritualized movement. In the wake of the memorable Tenebrae and Visitatio productions, Gethsemane represents a new and timeless meditation on poverty, abandonment and compassion.
