Overview
Through the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I, we have the chance to revisit history — not simply to celebrate the growth since, but to look deeply at what we are capable of. The veterans of WWI are no longer with us; the artwork of those who experienced war is our direct link to the past.
Using the poetry of Siegfried Sassoon, this performance merges music, spoken word, dance, and video art to see through the eyes of history — immersed in the mind of a war poet who lived our worst nightmare.
