Description
Theatrical performances by the International Research Centre for Theatrical Art and Science «Rectus Centrum» entitled: "The Grand Inquisitor" by F. Dostoevsky. Adaptation by Apostolos Apostolidis.
The Grand Inquisitor is a parable told by Ivan to Alyosha in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880). Ivan and Alyosha are brothers; Ivan questions the possibility of a personal, benevolent God and Alyosha is a novice monk.
The Grand Inquisitor is an important part of the novel and one of the best-known passages in modern literature because of its ideas about human nature and freedom, and because of its fundamental ambiguity.
