📖 A mystical interpretation of the Gospels

The piece is inspired by the work of the same title by Paramahansa Yogananda, while also drawing on fragments previously staged around the Gospel of Saint John. Rather than focusing on a literal physical return, the show explores the second coming as an inner realization of consciousness, linking the historical figure of Jesus of Nazareth with ancient Vedic knowledge and meditation science.

Through various episodes and miracles recounted in the gospels, the narrative establishes a bridge between the wisdom of Indian yogis and Christian spiritual traditions.

🎭 Storytelling tradition and the legacy of Dario Fo

True to Rafael Álvarez's distinctive style, this staging is deeply indebted to master Italian playwright Dario Fo and his classic "Mistero Buffo". The performance combines warmth, humor, sharp physical gesture, sound, silence, and the spoken word in the finest minstrel tradition.

The Teatro Campos Elíseos becomes the setting where El Brujo revisits life's timeless existential questions through the enduring power of theatre.

✨ An engaging theatrical journey bridging Eastern mysticism and Gospel teachings through wit and narrative mastery.
