Details

Based on the life of Irene Danner, a Jewish acrobat who witnessed the rise of the Nazi party as a teenager and survived the Holocaust while hiding and performing at a German circus. As we travel through Irene's life, memories of Stav's own family history are triggered; the struggles and multigenerational trauma. With the past looming closer and closer, she is forced to invite it in. Blending past and present through the intertwining voices of storyteller and heroine, this stirring work is a powerful reminder of the positive impact courageous acts can have for generations to come.
