Sanctuary (Yardley Productions)
About the show
Yardley Productions presents a dynamic and disturbing multimedia performance, focusing on three female characters, dealing with war in their own way. More…
Three women are confronted with the reality of war: a mother is bombarded by television broadcasts of destruction and death, a detached war correspondent, and a POW in Kosovo. All three are deeply affected by the brutality and senselessness of war. Each seeks refuge, sanctuary, from its violence. Incorporating writings from Rumi's poetry to soldiers’ emails, 'Sanctuary' follows the intransigence of war throughout history. A theme emerges: one war is like another, as seen in the compelling use of video footage from conflicts spanning the last century. Can we possibly break the cycle?
