Dear Church Team, My name is Christian Stejskal. I am a storyteller, violinist, and photographer, and I would like to offer your church my multimedia performance, “My Neighbourhood.” The performance tells the story of my pilgrimage on foot from Vienna, via Jerusalem, to Aksum in northern Ethiopia, and my life living among the Zabaleen – Cairo’s Christian garbage collectors – while working as a violinist at the Cairo Opera House, including during the Egyptian revolution. Over five years, I documented their lives through photography and writing. In the performance, I share seven stories of seven people from Garbage City, accompanied by my photographs and original violin music. The performance explores themes of politics, religion, revolution, pigs, garbage, friendship and love. Since 2016, I have performed “My Neighbourhood” around 250 times in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, England, Scotland, and Ireland, including churches, cultural centres, schools, and libraries.

Hello, My name is Christian Stejskal, I am a storyteller, violinist and photographer, and I have created a multimedia performance called "The Upper Room" which I would like to offer your church. In my performance "The Upper Room" I narrate chapters 13-17 of John faithfully and by heart. I have traveled the Middle-east in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and photographed the cultural landscape in Israel and Egypt in search of visual motives, illustrating the Biblical scenes, which I display on a screen while rendering the Holy Scriptures. This, I have put together with short pieces written for solo violin. The performance lasts 75 minutes.

Hello, my name is Christian Stejskal, I am a storyteller, violinist and photographer, and I have created a multimedia performance called "The Upper Room" which I would like to offer your church. Here follows a short description: The Last Supper with Jesus and His twelve disciples in the Upper Room is described by "the beloved disciple" in chapter 13-17 of the Gospel of John, after they have spent three and a half years together in life and ministry. During these three and a half years, the disciples have been walking the land of Galilee, Judea, and Samaria with the Lord. They have been sitting at His feet and listening to His teaching, and witnessed great miracles and healing. However, right before Judas leaves the Upper Room, Jesus will demonstrate loving service by washing the disciple's feet. Then, after speaking to His friends in the most intimate way about love and life in the Spirit, warning them about impending tribulation, annou...
