The Weight of Conscience": A Dramatic Encounter of Faith, Reason, Rebellion, and Despair

Four voices: Luther, Uriel da Costa, Nietzsche & Dostoevsky in One Impossible Room”.
In a dim, timeless chamber, four wounded souls meet across centuries.
Martin Luther — tormented monk seeking Mercy.
Uriel da Costa — exiled skeptic crucified by Honesty.
Friedrich Nietzsche — the rebel who swallowed the Void.
Fyodor Dostoevsky — the novelist who saw salvation inside Suffering.
First, an Introduction to Uriel Da Costa. Originally a Catholic, reverted to Judaism (he was a 17thc. Shephardic Jew by lineage).
Second, an Imaginary conversation between 4 consciences.
What begins as a dialogue becomes a storm:
• faith wrestling with fear
• reason collapsing beneath its own light
• rebellion turning into madness
• compassion piercing through despair

This original imagined theatre piece explores the deepest human battleground — the conscience.
Here, Luther confesses his terror, Da Costa his shattered search for truth, Nietzsche his defiant loneliness, Dostoevsky his mystical compassion.
They argue, cut, probe, and finally recognize themselves in one another.
Is despair a sign against God — or the last proof of Him?
Is honesty worth dying for?
Is rebellion freedom, or another form of bondage?
Can suffering itself reveal a hidden truth?
Not a debate, but a confrontation of four worlds.
A philosophical tragedy.
A spiritual autopsy.
A human drama where the abyss is not the enemy — but the witness.

I read and interpret what deserves not to be forgotten. If that resonates—join in.
Some of what I share In this channel "Interpreting Tradition", are reflections on Literature, Politics, History, Philosophy. Sometimes I read old texts out loud, and sometimes I just speak into the camera. But behind every video is the same impulse: to preserve something. To interpret what’s been handed down — carefully, honestly, and with a sense of reverence.
Thanks for being here.
