Using performance to connect people across prison walls.

The Fig Tree Committee tours An Iliad, by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare, to correctional facilities, while also performing for the communities that surround them. So far, over 3,000 people have seen our production of An Iliad, most of whom were incarcerated at the time.

 

Our work knits together audiences on both sides of the prison walls by using one of the world's oldest stories to examine the cycles of violence, trauma, displacement, and hope for healing that unite us all.
