Episode Synopsis

How can Ancient Greek tragedies help communities build resilience in the face of stress and trauma? Since 2009, Theater of War Productions has used this “ancient technology” to break cultures of silence and spark cathartic conversations. They've performed for soldiers, prison guards, front-line health workers, and many other audiences. In this interview, artistic director Bryan Doerries explains how each performance, which consists of a reading by A-list actors followed by a candid audience discussion, can open a door to healing.Theater of War Productions: https://theaterofwar.comUpcoming shows: https://theaterofwar.com/scheduleIf you're enjoying Road to Resilience, please review us on Apple Podcasts.
