Remnants

Author(s): Henry Greenspan
Written by a psychologist, <em>Remnants</em> is based on over forty years of interviews of Holocaust survivors by the author. Originally conceived as a radio play, Greenspan tours the work as a one-man show. <em>Remnants</em> is not testimony but rather recreates conversational moments in which survivors struck on an image or anecdote that “nailed” what they were attempting to convey, not only about the destruction but also about living after. The action is in the retelling itself: survivors finding such images, their strategic deployment, and the particular relationship that each survivor works to establish with the audience.
Format:Radio play and one-man show
