Way to Heaven

BY JUAN MAYORGA
14 April - 8 May 2010

'The curtain falls and, suddenly... that whole world disappears.'

About

1942. The heart of Europe. An orchestra performs in the village square. Two boys play with a spinning top. A young couple quarrel on a park bench. And a ramp rises from a deserted train station where the clock is frozen at six o’clock. An ordinary town goes about its ordinary day. People perform for their lives.
Way to Heaven ventures deep into the fracture between appearance, performance and the terrible reality of Theresienstadt – the concentration camp notoriously presented to the outside world as a model Jewish settlement.
From renowned Spanish playwright Juan Mayorga comes a searing examination of fear, control and the power of performance.
