Word Count: 1,658 Published: The God Who Breaks: Old Testament Plays of Rebellion and Despair (2025) Synopsis: In a surreal, unsettling version of Eden, the first humans—Eve, driven by restless curiosity, and Adam, clinging to fragile order—grapple with the boundaries of their existence. Their tranquil yet confined paradise is disrupted by the enigmatic Serpent, who challenges the unquestioned authority of a distant, imperious God. As forbidden questions about knowledge, purpose, and the meaning of "death" arise, the characters confront the suffocating weight of blind obedience versus the terrifying allure of truth. This mythological drama explores the volatile moment where innocence collides with the hunger for understanding, setting in motion a chain of events that will irrevocably alter their world and their relationship with the divine. |
