“Even a hunter cannot kill a bird which flies to him for refuge.”
Europe 1939, World War II begins. Jewish refugees flee when Poland falls to Germany. As the war progresses and the Allied forces strike back, the Soviet Union and Germany threaten to invade the refugees’ fragile safe haven in Lithuania. With borders closing, the refugees are desperate; their future looks dire whichever force may invade.
But in times of injustice, help sometimes comes from unexpected sources…
The Warrior and the Princess is a story of courage and the sacrifice of one for the lives of many. A unique reimagining of true events blends performance with shadow play, puppetry, and live piano accompaniment to recreate this little-known story of hope amidst the devastation of World War II.
“…each person must be judged on their character and nothing else.” -
