  • We desire that, in addition to posters, we have audiovisual material on  testimonies.
  • We propose as the guiding thread “The Marian face of the Church”. This will take concrete form in an attractive slogan, which will give unity to whatever is presented in the exposition.
  • Together with the exposition, we offer aCoffee Chat, that is to say, time over a coffee to comment on what they have seen in the exposition, including the offer of accompaniment for those who desire it. In this chat, we will provide  directions and webs for them to continue working on the topic of vocation.

4.- Dramatic Monologue – Anonymous Gospel

This involves a theatrical work which brings a personal vision of the figure of Jesus of Nazareth, in an attempt to portray his great humanity.Anonymous Gospel is a theatrical text interpreted by a solo actor and set in the period when the action takes place.

Synopsis:A town inGalilea, approximately the year 58 after Christ. An anonymous person, contemporary of Jesus of Nazareth, recalls part of his childhood with the intention of putting everything in writing. He remembers when he knew Jesus and what he learned from him. He makes an analysis of the events which happened during that time and up to the present and gives his opinion on them. He offers a portrait of the man Jesus through his vision and from a critical point of view, and at the same times shows what was possibly the thinking of many men and women of the time.

Once the presentation is finished, a dialogue is proposed in the form of a reflection between the audience and the interpreter about the work.
