Unexplored Interior, a play by Jay O. Sanders, weaves people and events of the Rwandan Genocide. Hosted at the Jewish Heritage Museum on May 11th, 2014,
This promises to be a historic livestream event, bringing a special concert reading of Unexplored Interior, from the theater at the Jewish Her
itage Museum in New York City to a brand new outdoor amphitheater at the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center in Rwanda. Also, with the help of the latest version of Google Hang-out, we hope to bring together the audiences in both countries (and possibly others), in a show of international solidarity, marking the 20th Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide. An old Tutsi story-teller, sitting on a hill, invites us to join him in the most beautiful place on earth - Rwanda. He becomes our guide through the history and people of the land he loves. In the wake of the 1994 genocide, multiple stories unfold. A Hutu government minister, engaged in encouraging the killing falls deeply in love with a Tutsi woman. peacekeepers, haunted by the hundreds of thousands of people he couldn’t save, struggles with his own will to live. A young Rwandese film student, away at school in New York City when his country implodes embarks on an eye-opening journey to find out what has become of his family and craft a film that will bring his country’s story to the world. The play weaves together the lives of these and other characters who experience the genocide from many different perspectives and ultimately come together to move forward into the uncertain future, reaching for hope.
