The Road to Damascus, a Trilogy
Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Damascus
Produced by Nicole Apostola, and David Widger
"The Road to Damascus" by August Strindberg is a trilogy that explores the inner turmoil and existential struggles of its characters, likely written in the late 19th century. This complex work delves into profound themes of conversion, the nature of reality, and the tumultuous dynamics of human relationships, primarily through the experiences of an author known as THE STRANGER, and his interactions with a mysterious LADY. The opening of the trilogy introduces us to THE STRANGER as he engages in a deep conversation with the LADY at a street corner, where he reveals his restless state of mind. He grapples with feelings of isolation, existential dread, and reflectiveness about his life choices, including why he abandoned his family. The setting is hauntingly quiet, amplified by the funeral march heard offstage, which resonates with THE STRANGER's melancholic introspection. Their dialogue reveals the complexity of their relationship and THE STRANGER's struggles with his past, identity, and faith, as he oscillates between despair and moments of connection with the LADY, who seems to offer him solace but may also represent another layer of his existential crisis. Ultimately, this opening scene sets the tone for a dramatic exploration of human suffering and search for meaning, feeling like a prelude to a deeper spiritual quest throughout the trilogy.
