JCC MetroWest presents, Armando Lucas Correa, “The Night Travelers”
Separated by time but united by sacrifice, four women experience love, loss, war, and hope from the rise of Nazism to the fall of the Berlin Wall as they embark on journeys of self-discovery and maternal love. Lilith, the child of a white mother and Black father, has no place in society under the laws of the Third Reich. So her mother, Ally, decides she must take drastic action to save Lilith by sending her to Cuba with their Jewish neighbors. This launches a multigenerational saga that explores the legacy of war and revolution. Once grown, Lilith must face her own terrible choice as revolution engulfs Cuba, and she must decide whether to deliver her daughter, Nadine, to safety in New York. Years later, Nadine returns to Germany to confront the past of her adopted mother and her biological family, as revelations rewrite what she thought she knew. A moving account of the tragic separation of families caught in the vise of history.
