Tim Lorsch puts on a one man show to share his family’s experience before, during, and after the Holocaust. It's a story of refugees, community and survival. Please Register

The Suitcase is a one man multimedia show that blends narrative storytelling, photos, video and music to tell of one family’s experience before, during and after the Holocaust. The music is all original and performed live using looping technology to weave layered story elements through classical string instruments. The project serves to reflect on what one family endured as antisemitism grew in Germany, when nationalism, intolerance, and dehumanization were allowed to prosper. Ultimately, it is a meditation on the hope and resilience of immigrants determined to thrive and forge new lives for themselves and their children when forced to leave their homeland to survive.
