So this past weekend, something so amazing that I still cannot believe it happened: El Ultimo Viaje de San Pablo. It is a musical about Saint Paul and this boat trip he went on. I didn't totally understand everything that we on, but basically, Paul is in Rome and the Roman Emperor decides to banish him or sell him into slavery, so he is loaded onto a boat with some Roman soldiers, people I can only hope were pirates, some Jews, and rand0m group of women, and some slaves. They are saling along, and everyone is making fun of Paul since he is a Christian, and I think that there were two other Christians on the boat as well, including one who was narrating the story from the future, so present and future guy bumped into eachother a few times and gave eachother strange looks. Then there was a lightning storm, and possibly an island, which made all of the people on the boat convert to Christianity. Then the Virgin Mary appeared on the boat to cannonize Paul.
Did I mention it was a musical? There was an electric guitar who had quite a few solos. The entire play was also sung, unlike the musicals in the states where there are some lines of dialogue thrown in. It was an enjoyable experience and I hope that there will be more performances while I am here.
This sounds epic.. and slightly ridiculous but mostly epic. Was it in Spanish?
