Written in iambic pentameter and evoking the themes of Greek Myth through medieval South Asian aesthetics, this new solo play examines the mental, physical, and spiritual cost of war.Weep for a land reduced to pulsing embers A people wracked by war and fickle gods A bard with tales that only he remembers A prayer that yet may overcome the odds I am the final offspring of my race The sole survivor of great devastation Though I remain forevermore displaced I venture to preserve my ravaged nation Behold: a song of monks, warriors, and masters Of two young lovers, zealous, fierce, and bold Whose passion led to glories and disasters To lingering secrets, anxious to be told Such history yet may reach some hopeful end If on it, fellow mortals, you attend Cast and Creative TeamKazeem Akinsanya: Co-Director Neha Hemachandra: Co-Director Arif Silverman: Writer, Performer, Sound Designer Nadim Silverman: Promotional Illustration About the Evolution FestivalThe Godless War is presented as part of The Center at West Park's 2024 EVOLUTION FESTIVAL.
