Playing For Time

The play follows a group of musicians in a concentration camp who were very much playing for their lives. The production begins with a closed theatre lobby. As the actors march through the center of the lobby, the waiting audience parted and then followed them into the theatre.  Actors continued onto the skeletal representation of a boxcar. The steel walls of the boxcar are pulled off to form the walls of the camp.   The windows, high and inaccessible were drawn from Chagal’s Freedom Windows. This production used heightened movement choreographed to a live percussion soundscape.
