A tale woven through dreamlike sand animation, narration blending memoir and poetry, and a riveting musical score reframing Ottoman Jewish women’s song, this show by the Guy Mendilow Ensemble renders a mother’s letter to her daughter, bringing to life the vibrant Mediterranean world that existed before wars splintered the Ottoman Empire. Its music draws on Tango, Arabic percussion, and vocal harmonies layered on Western classical music’s harmonic roots. The ensemble is a cutting-edge, international group of Boston and New York-based musicians, composers, visual artists, writers, and theatrical designers which produces live, original multimedia performances that explore the choices people make in times of personal or societal upheaval.
