Theatre & Puppetry: Juste Irena – Cie Paname Pilotis

Theatre & Puppetry – ages 12 and over

An elderly Polish lady lives in a care home. No one suspects the heroic deeds that Irena Sendler carried out during the Second World War: the rescue of 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. Three high school girls from Kansas investigate her story; Irena summons the ghosts of her past and pieces together the fragments of a fading memory.

This multifaceted production weaves together fiction and reality, past and present, live actresses and object-puppets, so that the unimaginable remains etched in our minds. For there are no big or small stories in life: there is Life!

“Heroes do extraordinary things; what I did wasn’t extraordinary, it was normal.”
