Sounds and symbols of the passion of Jesus are presented by a "Greek Chorus".
3 Men
3 Women
The Chorus is spread out throughout the space, possibly in a circle, or an oval around congregation. Exactly which members of the chorus say each line is a matter left up to the director. A great deal depends on the voices that you have available. It goes without saying that you need people who can project to make this work.
