Decade At A Glance
Synopsis:
Decade at a Glance is an epic story of a few families in the Dustbowl, circa 1936, who are uprooted from their farmland by drought, dust storms, and mortgage foreclosure. Making the treacherous journey out west as migrant workers, these ordinary hard working people-some with hopes dashed, and dreams deferred or dissolved-ultimately join the union marches. Unfolding like a series of living photographs, the story, told from the point of view of a Dustbowl survivor, is related through songs, movement, and interviews preserved from the 1930s. the similarities and differences between the Great Depression, and our own times, are self evident when we listen to simple people tell their stories. the gestural and expressive movement evokes images of the time. the actors sing and play the violin, flute, guitar, and ukulele. the music combines Depression era songs, union march songs from the 1930s, and original vocal harmonies.
