About Darfur Voices
In its unique readers theatre style, a trio of Living Literature
performers explore the tangled story of the government sponsored
military operation aimed at annihilating the African tribes in the Sudan
region of Darfur. An aural collage of stories and testimonies of
refugees and displaced persons, civilians and fighters resisting the
Sudanese government, teachers, students, parents, children, community
leaders and members of international humanitarian organizations are
woven together to provide a much-needed account to help understand the
conflict in Darfur.
Ruth Messenger, of the the American Jewish World Service, has said,
"Hope rests in the certainty that some people in Darfur are going to
escape this genocide and be able to continue to live. And why would you
not be part of that effort? There's a Chinese philosopher who once said,
"Hope is like a path in the countryside. Originally there is no way to
walk, but if people move all the time in the same direction, a path
appears.'" This 45 minute presentation intends to provide a
clearer view of this path.
