Artaban

In a large copper bowl, a fire blazes, deckchairs are set around it. Many know of the Three Wise Men who set out to find the Saviour. Yet the star would have guided a fourth one as well to Bethlehem, but he even missed meeting the others. For 33 years the wisest, Artaban, runs in the footsteps of events, seeking to bring his gift to Jesus. Why did he miss an entire lifetime? And did he really miss it? The special performance poses these questions, and may perhaps also find answers by shutting off one sense of the participants, while sharpening the others to all that remains of the world when we search for the light but do not find it.
