ARTISTS AT WAR

In this experiential concert, the spirit of composer Benjamin Britten and poet W. H. Auden will be conjured to explore the question: what is our role during times of conflict, as artists and citizens? Led by a medium, performers and audiences will channel the spirits' messages through live music, storytelling, and participatory ritual.
