“The Roman Triptych” is a meditative poem in three parts published by John Paul II in 2003. It is a contemplation on the personal relationship of man and God: through intimate epiphanies and the Revelation.

The true key word that sums up the pilgrimage in the second panel of the Triptych is not “Word”, but rather vision and seeing. The Word has a face. The Word – the source – is a vision. Creation, the universe, comes from a vision. And the human person comes from a vision. (Joseph Ratzinger)

In the previous editions of the course, Angelicum students directed by professor Jarosław Kilian prepared Karol Wojtyła’s “Job” (2022) and “Our God’s Father” (2023). The performances were accompanied by professional scenography, costumes, stage lights and live music. The young actors performed before a live audience at the Angelicum Church of St. Dominic and Sixtus.

This year on 17 May the Angelicum community and invited guests will witness a live performance of the famous Angelicum alumnus’ “The Roman Triptych” staged in the cloister garden of the University.
