Exiled salvation

dramaproject van Mischa Pakravesh

To be exiled, deprived from the protection of the law creates freedom for reimagining lawfulness. In 1945 an Egyptian farmer found a jar near the city Nag-Hammadi with a bundle of gnostic Christian scriptures. These were left out of the bible and the writers condemned as heretics. The scriptures invite for a personal experience of faith that departs from inner authority and gives female apostles, one of them Mary Magdalene, a voice. ‘Exiled Salvation’ is an investigation in the motives behind this act of erasing and condemnation, a physical and sonic investigation with music curated by Arend Dever.
