Dialogos: Holland Baroque & Ensemble Constantinople

More than 800 years ago, Francis of Assisi walked barefoot and unarmed from his crusader camp in Egypt to the camp of ‘the enemy’. He came there to speak to Sultan Malik al-Kamil. Francis and Malik al-Kamil talked to each other for three days and did not get carried away by the hostility and violence of their contemporaries. They held spiritual conversations and recognized in each other a desire for peace. Sultan Malek Al-Kamil and Francis did something radically different from what the spirit of the times told them. They broke the cycle of violence.
