The Plays: An Opera for Terezin

(Atlan; Fondation Beaumarchais)

This is a huge unwieldy epic and wonderful mess of a play/ritual. Its author, Liliane Atlan, wants it to be performed simultaneously all over the world, in as many languages as possible, once a year to commemorate the victims and the courage of the victims of the Holocaust to help ensure such a thing could never happen again.
