Theatre Piece:

Movement’45

About the Theatre Piece from Director, Donna Marie Baratta:
Named as an ode to the beginning of the 2^nd wave of immigration to Canada which was mostly from 1950 but it was in response to the end of the war, so  ’45 is the way to go. Movement – because just like in a musical movement – they can be performed separately but a performance of the whole work requires all the movements to be performed in succession. To me – they only carry the right meaning in succession.  Also, a movement can have a variety of styles/tempos within a long classical piece – I feel like these women had a variety of movements in their lives and I want to honour that change and growth.
