My Heart is in the East is a socially engaged theatre performance that opens up history and personal stories as a model for peacebuilding. The play includes poetry, puppetry, and humor. Written by Jessica Litwak, the play is the culmination of three years of field work, personal exploration, and historical research. It is an expression of my heart felt theory about theatre as a vehicle for social change.
Produced by the The HEAT Collective, the performance is part of a larger event that invites the audience to experience the play, participate in a fun poetry contest, and then discuss the potential of peacebuilding through the arts with a panel of experts in the field.
