Acting Together on the World Stage
From the boundary of human suffering and human possibility comes the film, Acting Together on the World Stage. The documentary presents the tools of theater's craft and genius, from the plays that animated the US civil rights movement to the ancient rituals enacted alongside Peru's Reconciliation Commission. This extensive and singular collection of reflections of artist and peace-builders carries the audience through a beautifully filmed and analytically clear exploration of how performance engages conflict, nurtures constructive change, and builds peace. In a world too often torn by violation, the film offers a unique gift in the pursuit of recuperating our sense of humanity.
