Produced by Jarmo Lehtovaara and Tapio Riikonen "Nathan Viisas" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a five-act play written in the late 18th century. The story takes place in Jerusalem and revolves around Nathan, a wealthy Jewish merchant, and his adopted daughter Recha, as well as the characters of Saladin, a Muslim sultan, and other religious figures. The play explores themes of tolerance, faith, and humanity through the interactions between its diverse characters, seeking to highlight the shared values among Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The opening of the play introduces Nathan returning from a journey, where he learns that his home has been destroyed by a fire but, more importantly, that Recha, who was in the house, has been saved by a young Christian knight during the blaze. Nathan's exchange with Daja, a Christian woman helping him, reveals his concern for Recha's well-being, along with an exploration of his philosophy on life, which emphasizes human connection and understanding over religious divisions. As they await the arrival of Recha, the narrative sets the stage for the development of the relationships between the characters and hints at the broader moral and philosophical questions that will unfold throughout the play.
