“You see, this story is your story, one that questions me. And this story is my story, one that responds to you. This is our common story. The story of Adam is the story of all mankind. And it is one of tragedy.” - Arvo Pärt

'Adam’s Passion' is the moving first collaboration between two “masters of slow motion who harmonize perfectly with each other” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). In the spectacular setting of a former submarine factory, American director and universal artist Robert Wilson creates a poetic visual world in which the mystical musical language of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt can cast its meditative spell.

Three of Pärt’s major works – Adam’s Lament, Tabula rasa and Miserere, as well as Sequentia, a new work composed especially for this production – are brought together here using light, space and movement, to create a tightly‐woven Gesamtkunstwerk in which the artistic visions of these two great artists mirror each other.
