“we are destroyed”
Reflections on The Donner Party Tragedy of 1846
An original oratorio by Howard Fishman
"You feel that you're present for something being born."
A ninety-minute musical meditation, “we are destroyed” is performed oratorio-style with four actors and four musicians. Major workshops of the piece have been performed and/or excerpted at: The Public Theater, The Steppenwolf Theatre, The Abrons Arts Center and The Pasadena Playhouse (in conjunction with Lincoln Center Directors Lab West).
