Obie Award-winning collaborators Roger Guenveur Smith and Marc Anthony Thompson devised a new work inspired by Otto Frank, the father of diarist Anne Frank. Smith's intimate meditation, scored live by Thompson, illuminated our present moment through a rigorous interrogation of our not-so-distant past. Smith's Frank addressed his daughter beyond her time and his own, navigating his loss as the only survivor of his immediate family and negotiating his subsequent service to the living and the dead as the steward of her work.

A collaboration with The Public Theater in New York, the Under the Radar Festival is widely recognized as a premier launching pad for new and cutting-edge performance from the U.S. and abroad.
