The evolution of VOICES FROM CHORNOBYL begins with my search for a one-act in 2005; I was handed a 160-pg printout of Voices From Chernobyl, interviews compiled by Svetlana Alexievich. My friend Nina had seen a French actress perform the piece “A Solitary Human Voice” and thought it would make a good one-act monologue. I read the first piece and then the entire book, then I felt compelled to adapt all of the stories. Since then, VOICES has had 2 incarnations, at the Open Fist and in the 2007 Edgefest. The latter performance was when the producer of the New Voices Sunday Series requested our participation in her festival, which will be VOICES’s 3rd incarnation.
It is my feeling that VOICES FROM CHORNOBYL should constantly breath new life, for new audiences, with a variety of artists and various venues, and retain Drafts that are then used as educational entertainment, urging its audience to investigate the world around them.
