Where is the life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Were is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T. S. Eliot – Choruses from the Rock

Pageantry and an integration of physical theatre styles creates a multi-media interpretation of T.S. Eliot’s rich reflections out of the book of Nehemiah in the Bible. His famous poem, Choruses from the Rock, looks both backward and forward in time, giving perspective to the viewer of the church’s need to continually rebuild its broken walls and to assess civilization’s progress, or backward motion. Using projections and a stunning sound track, the production plays in silhouette, leaving us with stark and moving impressions that are imprinted on our mind like a Japanese ink on white paper.
