Out of trauma comes creativity

Sunera Foundation presents The Last Two Minutes

Audiences in Colombo, Galle and Tissamaharamaya will have the opportunity to see Sunera Foundation's latest drama "The Last Two Minutes", which will be staged in Debarawewa Central College at 2.30 p.m. and 6.30 p.m., on May 26, in the Galle Town Hall at 2.30 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. on May 27 and in Colombo at the Bishop's College Auditorium at 7.15 p.m. on May 29 and 30. Tickets will be available at the performance venues.

"The Last Two Minutes" has been directed by Kalasuri Rohana Deva and choreographed by Ramani Damayanthi. Music is by Janaka Fonseka. "The Last Two Minutes" thrilled audiences at the Biennale of Theatre and Psychiatry in Northern Italy last year, where it won a Special Jury Award.

This time, Sunera will be showcasing the creative talents of some of the members of Sunera's performing arts workshops for those who have been traumatized by the tsunami.

In its Tsunami Theatre Outreach project (T-TOP) which functions in six districts, Sunera utilizes the performing arts to provide a therapeutic benefit to hundreds of children who were traumatized by the 2004 Tsunami.

This project is funded by Deutsche Bank, Global Fund for Children, East-West Centre Hawaii, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, The Force of Nature Foundation and Siege Social Jules.
