Description and Methods:
Welcome by a narrator (medieval traveller) to the entire group explaining the trip in time and space they are doing. They are taken to the middle ages in Cordoba to discover different characters very important at that time and nowadays still.
A couple in disguise for each religion (man and woman) performs a presentation
of each culture in three different rooms settled with candles and music.
Brief dramatization of the three couples explaining who they are and what the main contributions in terms of Thinking are.
Another trip in time takes the participants to another period where the stream of thought and aspects of the three cultures are looked at with a special concern on the place and role of women, poetry and knowledge transmission.
Finally, the entire group gathers again in the first room and as a symbol of pacific coexistence will sing a song in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Hebrew.
