In Spring 2010 (five years after Hurricane Katrina), MultiStages produced “Hell and High Water: or Lessons for When the Sky Falls” by Jamuna Yvette Sirker, a Katrina Survivor, at the Hudson Guild Theatre. MultiStages was invited later to present scenes from the play in the Theatre for the New City’s Lower Eastside Festival.
How do we choose life in the face of unspeakable horror and neglect? Sirker, a KATRINA survivor, shares her story of how to survive apocalyptic times in America in a poetic, funny, and surreal Fantasia you won’t find on CNN!
