Dedication

Work:: Dedication (S1720879177)

'The past isn't dead, it's not even past' (William Faulkner). New York pianist Roger Peltzman's one–person show, Dedication, recounts his family's tragic history fleeing the Nazis in war–torn Europe using drama, powerful images and musical performances of everything from blues to Chopin. Drawn into the story of people he never knew, Peltzman develops a 'relationship' with his uncle, Norbert Stern, a brilliant pianist who was murdered in Auschwitz at age 21. Learning that Holocaust trauma can be inherited, Peltzman is able to come to terms with himself and a past that becomes present.
