Kirstianna and Kaitlyn perform together in a fully staged concert of I Never Saw Another Butterfly. The musical is being presented by Touching Humanity Inc. and is adapted from the heartrending book of poems of the same name and the collection of children’s artwork created while imprisoned at Terezin concentration camp.
I Never Saw Another Butterfly is a beautiful and poignant musical play about love, hope, empowerment and remembrance set against the backdrop of the Holocaust. This compelling story is based on historical research and inspired by the poetry, drawings and lives of the children imprisoned between 1942 and 1944 at Terezin. It is the tale of a woman who instills creativity and imagination in the encamped children and allows them to live their childhoods as fully as possible, even while staring into the face of evil.
It is the tale of two young people who embrace their love without fear. It is the tale of family sticking close together against forces trying to rip them apart. The story illuminates how one can conquer adversity and promote living life to the fullest.
