Heaven April 9, 2011

Helmed by Flying Foot Forum Director Joe Chvala, 'Heaven' is a mind-bending dance theater epic that follows an American war photographer on an odyssey through war-torn Bosnia in the early 1990s. It blasts off at the frenetic pace of battle, stopping along the way to look at the humanity behind the suffering. It is a heart-wrenching yet hopeful story of survival, understanding, forgiveness and even beauty in the face of some of the most horrific events of the late 20th century. With music by Chan Poling of The New Standards, 'Heaven' flies through the realms of pop, rap, rock, percussion and opera mixed with traditional and contemporary Balkan styles.
