“Different Ships, Same Boat” with Guy Mendilow Ensemble

Through powerful spoken word, music, and song, Different Ships, Same Boat unfolds through a series of chapters: With stories from WWII Hungary to modern small towns and cities in the US, along with music and song spanning lyrical American Blues to Ottoman Jewish cantigas, Different Ships, Same Boat offers a stirring exploration of the joys, tensions, and complexities of who we are, and who we wish to be, to ourselves and to each other. Literary performer Regie Gibson and composer/story catcher Guy Mendilow will guide audiences at the Boston Athenaeum this February.
