From Press Release

Numbers: a captivating look at a story of love, loss and hope

TORONTO FRINGE 2012/KOKUS PRODUCTIONS/CNW/ –

“I was here and this is my story.” Her message is simple. In sixty minutes, you will be taken on a journey of love, fear and hope told through the eyes of one young girl in WWll.

The numbering of persons in Jewish law is forbidden as it destroys the uniqueness of the individual and reduces a person, to a statistic. It was a convenient method of extermination. Lives stripped of identities and dreams.

Kokus Productions is proud to present some of Toronto’s finest dancers, performers and artists in this truly engaging story. Conceptualized through theatre and stunning contemporary dance pieces from swing to hip-hop, making this 1930’s story modern, while (a: never losing sight of the sensitive subject that has been explored in so many ways before.) (b: still keeping the integrity of this sensitive subject that has been explored so many times before).
