Ettore Bassi, actor and interpreter of the opening show; Lorenzo Fazzini, Editorial Manager of the Vatican Publishing House (LEV); Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, writer, author of the text The Challenge of Jerusalem. A Journey to the Holy Land (LEV). Introduction by Otello Cenci, Head of Performances of the Meeting Foundation for Friendship among Peoples ETS

Schmitt’s conversion to Christianity, initially born as a theoretical option, takes flesh in this journey to the Holy Land to a mystical revelatory event experienced with transport during the visit to the Holy Sepulcher. The change from the abstract to the human illuminates a path for coexistence between different traditions and beliefs.
