Terezin was the final
stop for more than 30,000 Central and Western European Jews, most
from Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany who perished within its
walls. For thousands more it was only a way station on the journey to
the slave-labor and death camps. Yet it was also a place where many
prisoners became intensely aware of the meaning and power of art.
During those years in Terezin/Theresienstadt, a vigorous cultural
life emerged. Not all prisoners participated in the cultural life and
only a small fraction of the works produced there has survived.
Full of satire,
bitter humor, and hope, these pieces demonstrate how art became a
vital survival technique for the inmates.

Our heroine, the
Jersey City singer-songwriter Giselle Bellas, looks forward to
presenting an intimate show of original pop songs to an audience of
music lovers. When suddenly, the ghost of her eccentric idol,
Florence Foster Jenkins, and her dancing messengers, appear to upturn
all of Giselle's plans. Taking her, and the audience, on a whirlwind
of musical and visual experiences, transforming Giselle into a new
version of herself.
