Description & Specifications

Get up! Do you seek God? Here he is!
It is action, filled with mistakes, fumbling, persistence, and struggle.
“God is not the force that has found eternal balance, but the force that eternally breaks every balance, seeking ever higher. And he who finds God and works with him is the one who, with the same method, struggles and moves forward within his narrow circle.
Get up, come down with the people, learn to love them and to kill them, love is respect, affection, and disgust. Don’t expect to give birth to anything alone. You will only rise by grappling with people, showing mercy, hating our unfortunate heart. Come with all your weaknesses, your cowardices, and your chimeras, in your entirety. You will purify yourself by struggling. What are you waiting for? The enemy is passing through the narrow streets, stepping on our homes and our hearts. Come down, choose your own trench and strike.
The enemy is God in priestly robes and with a prayer rope, the unwashed, unmarried, and lazy one!”

The Symposium is a work that reflects the spiritual and philosophical world of Kazantzakis, combining elements from Nietzsche, Buddha, and Christ. A provocative text that invites the reader to an inner search and a continuous dialogue.

Read an excerpt

"Because I don't create art, I let my heart scream. Because in a few hours I will condense my entire life, my horror and my joy, love, shame, agony, and redemption. Because just as the early Christians would fall and writhe on the church slabs before taking communion, proclaiming their sins in front of everyone, that's how I want to renew the confession with you tonight."
