Anthony Green, a graduate student at CU’s College of Music, presents Three Vignettes of Job, a multimedia production based on the Book of Job that includes live music, dance, theater and film.

The first vignette is a dramatic retelling of the story using narrators, musicians, actors and mime.

The second part features improvisational musicians who play against the prepared, rhythmic sounds of a laptop – all providing background for a sonnet written by Green and performed by artist/musician Mark McCoin.

A film by Green will be shown in the third vignette, accompanied by a live orchestral performance of his musical compositions. Text in the film raises spiritual issues and tells several stories of modern-day, real-life “Jobs” who transcended their trials.

Green explained, “I’d like people to see how the
Book of Job offers ideas and philosophies that can
be applied to everyone's life.”

“The film and music we present in the third vignette
will be a celebration of life, beauty and show historical
figures who have undergone Job-like experiences.”

The production will touch on the age-old question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” while exploring issues of theodicy, that is, the branch of theology that defends divine attributes in the face of evil. 

Anthony Green is producing this performance with the support of an ATLAS Fellowship, the ATLAS Center for Media, Arts and Performance and the CU College of Music.
