A merciful tale with music, masks, and a test of love.
An impossible choice: would you pull the child from the circle?
When a child’s future hangs in the balance, power and compassion collide. In this imaginative musical staging of The Caucasian Chalk Circle, performers use masks, live music, and bold storytelling to bring Brecht’s powerful parable to life.
The Caucasian Chalk Circle is one of the most heartfelt examples of Bertolt Brecht's work, which often strove to engage audiences rather than immerse them. In the ancient times of the Caucasus Mountains region, two stories converge: that of Grusha, the kitchen maid who goes through many ordeals to save the infant of an overthrown Governor; and Azdak, the corrupt judge who is charged with deciding whether or not Grusha must return the child to the woman who abandoned it.
Directed by Sandglass Theater co-founder Eric Bass, with musical direction by Magda Sharff and choreography by Shoshana Bass.
Step inside the circle and witness the choice that decides everything.
