“Walking the ancient trail trodden by the wicked”  is an Art Performance that brings together the stories of Oedipus, Job and Jesus, in order to illuminate the different paths they took when, in the most crucial moment of their lives, they were accused of blasphemy against God and threatened with extinction. The first one accepted the blame, the second resisted, while the third was ritually sacrificed in order to show that victimization is the “loose crutch” that keeps the societies united when hard times comes.

Theater, painting, literature, and music unite and create an artwork designed to reach everyone, regardless of their familiarity with these art forms. Our goal was to deal with a topic that is timeless and ecumenical and reveal, once again, a truth that is known for at least two thousand years; that is, that the victims are innocent.
