De Aanbidding plot
This documentary follows the theater maker Milo Rau during the making process of the performance 'Lam Gods': his interpretation of the painting by Van Eyck on the scene of NTGent. The film follows the months-long casting process, with which the project plunged into the here and now of the Ghent city community: who is the Cain of Ghent, who is the Abel? Who plays Adam and who Eve? Who are the martyrs of the 21st century? The Crusaders and the Righteous Judges? The patrons? What do they say about the themes of this painting, about original sin and human suffering, about faith and tragedy, death and redemption?
