“With all of these pieces, there’s something really about perspective,” says co-curator Donna-Michelle St. Bernard. “There’s something about not just risk and performance, but risk and experience… These are stories that I could not know if you did not tell them to me. And I think that’s an important piece of broadening the voices in theatre.”
3 Fingers Back ain't no regular play about war. We don't see or hear the destruction of the land or the cry of the people. Instead, Donna-Michelle (DM) St. Bernard's double bill of plays is more intimate, an inward crawl to what she calls the repetitive stress patterns that constitute the world.
