ZU FUSS NACH JERUSALEM
- Location:
- Theaterhaus, Siemensstr. 11, 70469 Stuttgart
Live photo & film show by and with Johannes Schwarz
A Catholic priest embarks on a pilgrimage on foot - so far, so normal. But Johannes Maria Schwarz is no ordinary priest. And his journey is not exactly an everyday one. Because he is walking 15 months and 14,000 km from Liechtenstein, through 26 countries in Europe and the Middle East to Jerusalem - and back!
First he heads east and crosses the Carpathian Mountains. Then he trudges through the Ukrainian steppe and along the Russian Black Sea coast towards his distant destination. He visits the highest mountain in Armenia and the lowest point on earth. He spends the night in remote Georgian rock monasteries and lets himself be touched by the silence of the desert. Whether with Turkish construction workers, Bedouins around a campfire or Bulgarian brothel owners - his encounters with a wide variety of people, with nature and with God could easily fill more than one absolutely captivating lecture!
Johannes Schwarz is not only a passionate traveler, but above all a great storyteller, blessed with a wonderful sense of humor. "On foot to Jerusalem" is an experience!
