LIGHT / THE HOLOCAUST & HUMANITY PROJECT
MARCH 31 – APRIL 2 | THE LONG CENTER
In our darkest times, it is hope that pushes us forward. Light tells the horrific and profound story of Holocaust survivor Naomi Warren, a survivor of three Nazi-era death camps. Naomi’s life during this period of history was harrowing and filled with loss. In Light, we follow her path from a beautiful family with a rich culture and traditions, to utter dehumanization… and all along the way; we feel Naomi’s courage, resistance, and resilience.
As a dance, the story of Light is told from a present-day perspective. The music is composed of works by contemporary writers. The decor and dress is of today, and spare. The story of “never again” is a warning of which we must always be mindful and diligent concerning the protection of human rights against bigotry and hatred. On the other side of catastrophe is hope.
