“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. Its staging in the Angelicum cloister garden will be a production worked out in the third edition of prof. Jarosław Kilian’s theatrical workshop. In previous editions, Angelicum students prepared Karol Wojtyła’s “Job” (2022) and “Our God’s Brother” (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.
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)
