Faith Community Connections

By Cameron Cox
October 25, 2020 12:00 AM
by Cameron Cox, dramaturg In the second of BYU’s Illusionary Tales, Such A Time As This written by James Goldberg, the audience is introduced to Hadassah Loew, a woman born and raised in a community of faith who has since left it. Hadassah’s Hassidic faith community has striking parallels to aspects of our faith community here at Brigham Young University. Hadassah's relationship to her faith community will undoubtedly sound familiar to some in our audience and her journey in Such A Time As This may seem familiar as well. As a Mormon with strong Sikh and Jewish family roots, I feel strongly about the ways the stories we choose to cherish shape our world. I'm particularly aware of the power of religious storytelling. They've fueled movements for a better world.- James Goldberg, Playwright of Such A Time As This

Real Life Experiences with La Llorona

October 22, 2020 12:00 AM
by Emily Trejo, dramaturg In Mexican culture, it is not uncommon to hear of people’s experiences with many of the creatures in their folklore. One may say these stories are made up, used to frighten children. And though I would mostly agree with you, there is one legend I do believe in, La Llorona. I have never personally had an experience with her, but my grandma has. My grandma is not a superstitious woman so I believe every word she says. To listen to her story click on the video below. An English translation has also been provided if you do not understand Spanish. [caption id="attachment_7397" align="alignleft" width="148"]
