a new theatre work
Though leaden skies may be concealing ones of blue.
This song, originally written in Yiddish, was composed under the leaden skies of the Holocaust. These camps were repositories of suffering and death, but they also had song, humor, and romances. They had intrigues, they had every aspect of life on the “outside” and they also had the distortions, contradictions, and behaviors that were needed to survive the unsurviveable.
Leaden Skies is a new theatrical work that explores life in a camp, but it is not a morbid tragedy. Instead, it takes on the appearance of a folk tale. The humor and the schemes, the conspiracies and the pranks are all part of the story. The story has echoes of ancient chassidic parables and yarns, as well as stylistic reflections of the theatre of Bertolt Brecht.
