SUMMARY:Notes to the Motherland
DESCRIPTION:“NOTES TO THE MOTHERLAND is nothing short of extraordinary\, painting a darkly incisive picture of how the bigotry of the old country springs to life in America\, – BackStage Magazine. \nDo you know the stories of how your ancestors came to America? What about the ones left behind? NOTES TO THE MOTHERLAND is a spellbinding psychological thriller that unearths the hidden experiences of Paul Rajeckas’ family during WWII\, turning one son’s search for his immigrant past into a gripping theatrical journey.  \nPlaying a multitude of characters in this riveting one-man show\, Rajeckas blends physical theater with a darkly incisive portrait of the 21st-century immigrant experience. This transformative performance brings the audience center stage into a powerful exploration of identity\, history\, and the secrets that shape us—an unmissable experience for anyone seeking to understand who we are and how we got here.
