GREGORIUS – THE HOLY SINNER
World Premiere
The twelfth century German knight and poet, Hartmann von Aue, relates an astonishing tale of victory over despair. Sequentia performs this premiere reconstruction about a man tossed about by fortune, and unaware of his incestuous origins, who returns from near death to become a great holy man.
Hartmann’s ancient tale reaches far into the past, echoing the presence of Oedipus in its darkest moments. At its most inspiring, it is a tale of limitless possibility and inextinguishable hope.
Sung in medieval German verse, with video titles in English.
