SUMMARY:All is Calm- The Christmas Truce of 1914
DESCRIPTION:"All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914" is back by popular demand! The Western Front\, Christmas\, 1914. Out of the violence comes a silence\, then a song. A German soldier steps into "No Man's Land" singing "Stille Nacht." Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie\, music\, and peace. A remarkable true story told in the words of the men who lived it. This moving work captures an astounding moment in history when Allied and German soldiers laid down their arms to celebrate the holiday together by trading carols\, sharing food and drink\, playing soccer\, and burying the dead. Poetry\, diary entries\, official war documents\, and letters home are woven together with iconic World War I songs\, patriotic tunes\, and European Christmas carols to create a truly unique and profound theatrical event. "All is Calm a theatrical concert feeds our need for heroes\, gives space to our dreams for human nobility\, allows us to approach the enigma of Christmas and puzzle over the miracle that has stopped enemies from killing each other for one day." Minneapolis Star Tribune
