Sanctuary in works in progress series at Arena Stage

Sanctuary_graphicFour_editedCaridad Svich and NoPassport have been invited to present her poetry cycle for performance Sanctuary as part of the 2016 Kogod Cradle Series at Arena Stage in Washington D.C. from January 28-31, 2016.

Sanctuary is an epic poem for the stage by OBIE winner Caridad Svich that explores how we are born, how we live, and how we come to terms with and find spaces of sanctuary in our lives, whether you are a migrant, ghost, worker, child, elder or the voice of the earth itself. Call it the cry of the 99%, call it a shout-lullaby, Sanctuary is offered as a healing balm for performance during these troubled times.

The work-in-progress presentation of the piece will feature the collaboration of performer\director John Moletress of force/collision and actor Jocelyn Kuritsky.
