at once historical, profane, blasphemous, comedic and vulgar Poet Vaudevillian Carlo Parcelli s i x v i d e o p e r f o r m a n c e s The Canaanite Gospel: A Meditation on Empire
What actually transpired Easter Week/Passover 33 A.D.?
Culled from First Century Texts and drawn from dozens of biblical and
secular sources, these monologues tell a revisionist tale of what
transpired in Judea, Easter Week/Passover 33 AD and beyond during the
reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius.
In the classical argots of Petronius, Rabelais, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Lenny Bruce, Guy Ritchie, James Joyce, David Jones, Cockney and the world's myriad cryptolects, The Canaanite Gospel strips bare the New Testament canard of the Resurrection of Yeshu of Nazareth and pokes a stick in the eye of the Synoptic Gospels.
