What are the causes of war? Is war simply human nature? Is the goal of world peace realistic? Artivist and educator Rhapsodius (aka Andrew Craig) presents a one-person, one-act show that poses these questions and more, and offers possible answers. “War and Peace: Songs and Monologues” features some of the greatest songs about war and peace composed in the 20th century, by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Bob Marley. Rhapsodius weaves together these songs with deeply considered monologues that draw equally from the ancient writings of Sun Tzu as well as from contemporary authors such as Gwynne Dyer, Margaret McMillan, Pema Chodron and the Dalai Lama. “War and Peace: Songs and Monologues” aims to educate, enlighten, uplift and inspire in equal measure, and leave you with the sense that a peaceful world is indeed possible, and that we can co-create it.

Tickets are $25 each, available on Eventbrite or by calling 519-836-1221.
