In the poignant theatre production As I Left My Father’s House , three characters with Christian, Jewish, and Islamic backgrounds each share their own story.
It tells of the raw reality of their struggle, hope, and inner strength. Through powerful monologues, compelling music, and poetic texts, the performance takes you through the complex themes of displacement, identity, and passing on stories to the next generation.
With a unique blend of personal histories, universal spirituality, and live music, this performance touches the deepest part of our human experience. It is an ode to resilience and connection in times of apparent despair.
I don’t want to hide anymore
Hide who I am
I don’t want to be afraid anymore
To be afraid of the night
Being afraid of being rejected by people
I want to fly like a dove again
-Bright O. Richards
