ETTY Returns to Carnegie Stage
Etty , the one-woman play told in Hillesum's own words, opens us to the moment of her becoming, just as the world around her is coming undone.
Few people know about Etty Hillesum, but her story challenges us to confront our own complicity in a world where genocide continues today. Etty Hillesum writes the life she is living - her loves, her work, her wry sense of humor, her deep sensuality and the moment in history. She offers a new form of resistance, as she faces the truth of her circumstances and refuses to lose what she loves in life, determined to live life with fierce passion.
Etty, the one-woman play told in Hillesum's own words, opens us to the moment of her becoming, just as the world around her is coming undone. The second act asks the audience to join the conversation, fostering dialogue on human rights, resistance, and personal responsibility.
ETTY
