Sacred Representation
On Saturday, March 22, at 19:45 p.m., the “Art in Progress” Theater Company will stage a sacred representation at the Church of the Seven Sorrows, located in via Iommella Grande. The event will focus on the “Women of the Passion,” whose interpretations will be entrusted to Giulia De Angelis, Martina Russo, Rosalba Veniero and Elena Vollaro. The performance will be accompanied on the keyboard by Maestro Fabiana Ravel.
A Project for Reflection
Born two years ago, the project focuses on the female figures who accompanied Christ during the Passion. Martina Russo and Elena Vollaro, together with Giulia De Angelis, Marcella Jo Pirillo and Maestro Anna D'Apice, aim to present a female point of view on a theme of great relevance for the Sorrento Peninsula. The artists describe their work as a synthesis of texts and music aimed at expressing a deep and coherent meaning, underlining that the intent of the representation is not mere spectacle, but rather reflection and union.
The Entire Program
Included in the program of metropolitan events 2024/2025 under the project “Sant'Agnello. Lights, colors and music – From the Profane to the Sacred” in its third edition, the program offers a series of concerts, performances and dedicated meetings.

The article talks about an event that seems interesting, but I'm not sure if it is really relevant for everyone. The representation could attract many people, but I don't think that the passion of Christ should always be represented in this way.
