ANGEL OF THE AMAZON
*World Premiere

Music and Libretto by
Evan Mack

May 6 – 22, 2011
at
The Jerome Robbins Theater at Baryshnikov Arts Center

AmazonThis compelling new work is based on the true story of Sister Dorothy Stang (1931-2005), an American born member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur order.  In 2005, at the age of 73, she was brutally murdered by assassins hired by the owner of a logging company, who felt her passion for the Earth and all of its gifts to be a threat. Angel of the Amazon depicts her life’s work and the events that set her on a path to martyrdom.
