Holocaust Museum Houston

CORE Performance Company in “Life Interrupted: Honor the Innocent”

Friday, Sep. 18, 2015

08:00 PM – 10:00 PM
US/Central

Artwork by Nancy Chikaraishi.

“Life Interrupted” is a richly layered performance of contemporary dance, art and music filled with challenge and courage, sorrow and joy, confinement and liberation.

The exquisite artists of CORE Performance Company, under the artistic direction of Sue Schroeder, collaborate with renowned visual artist, composer and writer, creating a universal experience from the historical - the World War II internment camp experience.

Five camps operated by the Department of Justice were in Texas and were the forced home of not just Japanese, but also Italian- and German-Americans. Visitors can honor the universal message found in this history through this tender, uplifting recognition of their experience.
