Don’t miss “Dear Children, Sincerely…” today
View(s):
“Dear Children, Sincerely….” is a project that collects the stories and experiences of the elders of society and takes them to young people in the form of storytelling and live performance.
A theatrical production of this work has been sponsored by the Office for National Unity and Reconciliation (ONUR), and will be staged today, November 27 at the University for Visual and Performing Arts. Entrance is free of charge, and the performance will begin at 7 p.m.
This project is based on long conversations with a cross section of the generation born in the 30’s. The “Dear Children, Sincerely…” project was launched here in 2014 by playwright and director Ruwanthie de Chickera and the Stages Theatre Group. This new phase of the project will be produced in collaboration with Tracy Holsinger and the Mind Adventures Theatre Company. The cast consists of 15 Sinhala and Tamil actors.
Entrance for this performance is free. Audience members are requested to contact 076 878 1095 to reserve tickets. The University for Visual and Performing Arts is located on Horton Place, Colombo 7.
