Christopher DeLaurenti on 'Breathe Between the Lines / Atmen Zwischen Linien':
Breathe Between the Lines / Atmen Zwischen Linien mingles testimony from those who killed, those who died, and those who have witnessed killings. Heard as a short, one act play, this drama also relies on the likely inaccurate translation from the native language of its writer, English, to the main language spoken in the country of its presentation. Among the many voices in this co-translated work, you will hear Eric Garner, who was choked to death by members of the New York Police Department on July 17, 2014, and U.S. Navy sniper Chris Kyle (1974-2013), whose book, "American Sniper," was later adapted into a film. "When you cut into the present, the future leaks out." William S. Burroughs
