The Warriors: A Love Story confronts the disturbing beauty and profound devastation of war. Searching through his grandmother’s trunk after her death, Eliot discovers a powerful family legacy passed down by Ursula, a German dancer and survivor of the Allied bombing of Dresden, and Glenn, an American philosopher and veteran.
An ensemble of dancers, interactive projections, and live music conjure a universe out of the trunk: Plato’s allegory of the Cave; seductive military indoctrination; a dancer’s flight to survive; a philosopher’s struggle to understand; contemporary drone pilots; courtship of former enemies; a soldier’s epiphany upon nearly shooting his own reflection.
