The Story Behind the Production
It is no coincidence that the number '7' looms large in esoteric
circles: the 7 days of creation, the 7 epochs, the 7 deadly sins, the 7
chakras, the 7th son of the 7th son, and 7th heaven etc... dig deep in
any culture and you will come face to face with the number 7.

The Mysterious Mary Magdalen
Traditionally, Magdalen is portrayed as a marginal figure, a reformed
prostitute and penitent befriended by Jesus and inferior to his male
disciples. She is an enigmatic woman whose 'hold' over the public
imagination has lasted over twenty centuries: artists and writers are
bewitched by her, women aesthetics have modelled their lives on her,
social
movements have been born in her name and her cult status in the
Catholic
Church has spread from Europe to Africa and Brazil. In recent years
'Da
Vinci Code' devotees determined to discover the true story of her life
and
her relationhip with Jesus have blazed a 'Magdalen trail' around
Southern
France.
