MOTIVATION:   IT'S HARD TO THINK ABOUT - EVEN HARDER TO SPEAK.

 

SIEGE is a voice, a single voice determined to be a witness.  An experience driven immersive visceral protest of our choices.  We are better than this.​

These are the times . . . that demand attention.

These are the times . . . Have we learned nothing?  

 

As a species we are inexplicably drawn to violence through immoral aggression.  Through our efforts, skilled diplomacy, the Israeli Palestinian war has produced only evidence of our capacity to commit horrific acts. 

 

Among other tragedies we have produced tens of thousand orphaned Palestinian children, tens of thousands killed in Gaza; 1200 Israelis and 250 hostages. These are only the numbers . . . . the humanitarian evolving crisis grows exponentially as we fail to focus our energies on compassion and rebuilding. 

 

There is no shortage of examples - major wars with at least 10,000 deaths/year or more - some starting as far back as 1948:  Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestinian, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, Iraq, Maghreb/Sahel, Myanmar, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Syria, Sudan, Ethiopia.

​

These are the times . . . . to build a NEVER AGAIN commitment focused on peace

 

We are better than this!  

 

ACTION: 

 

       A series of elements one folding into the other weaving live performance, video mapping supported by         lighting and a soundscape to create an immersive experience.  Content wrestles with social, political,           philosophical issues to speak out loud about the futility of seeking war/violence as a means to solving           issues.
