Elizabeth Swados Livres

    Elizabeth Swados était une écrivaine, compositrice et metteuse en scène américaine dont l'œuvre explorait souvent des sujets sombres tels que le racisme, le meurtre et les maladies mentales. Elle utilisait l'humour satirique pour examiner les problèmes sociétaux, mais son écriture pénétrait plus profondément dans les paysages psychologiques. Ses créations se caractérisent par une honnêteté brute et une volonté d'affronter des expériences humaines complexes. Elle a révélé ses luttes personnelles contre la dépression dans son œuvre autobiographique, offrant aux lecteurs un aperçu intime de sa perspective artistique.

      Runaways is a collection of songs dances and spoken word pieces performed by children who have run away from their homes. Initially created from interviews with homeless children and those in orphanages Liz Swados' unique piece weaves songs about personal struggle and the world at large through the eyes of youth in New York City in the '70s. The show blends different musical styles from pop to hip-hop and jazz to reggae while asking why children can't remain children. The licensed version of Runaways reflects the version performed by Encores in 2016.
