At the same time, the famous director wanted to have the actresses carry their really heavy crossbeams the entire walk from where the sentencing will take place and walk past the market, past the Gethsemane, past the place where Yahel cast the demons, past where the three saved the woman from stoning and all the way to the hill of the skulls, and not only The Crucified Three, but their two companions as well, just in case.
The ladies carried the heavy posts all the way to the crucifixion location, a very long walk. Almost at the end of their painful journey Jac asked them to take their shoes off and continue the walk barefoot. The idea was to find out how they feel walking without feet protection on those grounds. They obliged. It was fun. They suffered a lot. Lots of complaining. It wasn’t pleasant for them, of course, the sharp stones, the needles like grass, the bugs… all of that under their soft and tender feet, pressed down under the weight of those large pieces of wood they were carrying. One of them was heard saying A giant ant bit me!
