Fibers is a documentary drama performance piece in the workshop stages, based on oral histories I conducted with various family members from Israel to Prague, Belgium, California, New York, Washington, Chicago, and Florida, about my grandmother, who survived Auschwitz at 18 years old, the courageous journey of her eight brothers and sisters, and the acts of bravery performed by my great grandfather, who brought the entire family who survived to New York after the war. The piece explores how history and memory is passed down through generations, how trauma affects a family, and the resilience required to survive, thrive, and continue a legacy. Most importantly, peace is a testament to my grandmother, a seamstress who, as my uncle Morris said, was the "right arm" of the family, who created the strong tapestry of fibers that proudly make up who I am. |
