The Forgotten Kingdom renders an interwar letter from a mother to her daughter so that — years later, once grown — the daughter would remember how it felt to live in her parents’ vibrant, multiethnic Mediterranean world, before its unraveling.
Breathtaking landscapes of sand give a dreamlike, intensely emotional quality to an adventure that “explodes with artistry, refinement, and excitement” (Hebrew Union College, OH).

The Ensemble

An international tour de force, the Guy Mendilow Ensemble (GME) is a cutting-edge collaboration of world-class musicians, singers, visual artists and theatrical designers. GME weaves inspiring stories through live riveting scores, narration blending memoir and poetry, and theatrically projected sand animation. GME productions center on real-world tales of the choices people make in times of personal or societal change — especially unexpected grace in the midst of upheaval.

GME is a recipient of multiple funding awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Boston Foundation, the New England Foundation for the Arts and Western Arts Alliance on the basis of artistry, cultural preservation and the strengthening of communities through the arts.
