SHOW INFORMATION

It is two years after the end of the Second World War and the Holocaust, but many of the inhabitants of Mael Niebo — a tenement in a small Polish village— are still haunted, in different ways, by the terrible events they witnessed. Leopold Meier, a newspaper editor from Berlin, struggles to connect with his young daughter as he grapples with the small part he played in promoting Nazi propaganda. Catholic siblings Josef and Katherine Worcheka struggle against the binds of tradition and expectation while the Jewish Hoffson family attempt to rebuild a life torn apart by merciless persecution.

Told through a series of vignettes, Little Heaven is an emotional portrait of life after unspeakable tragedy that shines a light on injustice, reconciliation and the healing power of community.


RECOMMENDED AUDIENCE: Age 12+ 

NOTE:
LITTLE HEAVEN features subject matter that may be disturbing to some, as well as characters that display racist and prejudiced behaviour. This production also uses smog and flashing lights. Viewer discretion is advised.
