Acting Together on the World Stage

From the boundary of human suffering and human possibility comes the documentary film, Acting Together on the World Stage. By exploring the experience and philosophy of how social change merges with art, the film 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 us 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 with violation, the film offers a unique gift in the pursuit of recuperating our sense of humanity.
