The libretti to "Yona," "Sarai" and "Ruwth," the trilogy of chamber
operas with music by Robert W. Griffin, tell the stories of the
well-known biblical figures of Jonah, Sarah and Ruth in a new light
This kind of re-imagining of the ancient tales is most alive in the
Jewish Midrash tradition. The ambivalence of justice, its vertical
and horizontal dimension so to speak, is the main theme of "Yona"
and "Sarai." In "Ruwth" the struggle for justice is taken from
heavenly spheres down to earth. The community of Bethlehem has to
decide how to receive the impoverished widow Na'omi and her Moabite
daughter-in-law, learning to transcend long-established communal
customs and create a more universal and inclusive society.
