"Z: A Meditation on Oppression, Desire and Freedom" is an astonishing first stage play by the internationally acclaimed and award-winning poet Anne Szumigalski which explores the relationship between captive and captor and the terrible sacrifices human beings must make to survive. When the concentration camps were opened at the end of World War II, Anne Szumigalski worked with the survivors as a translator for the British Red Cross. "It made me look at life," she says, "in a completely different way." In Z, Szumigalski translates that profound and disturbing experience into an amazing theatrical event--a blend of drama, poetry and dance.
