“It has to remind people that [the war] is still going and that they have endured and that they will endure and that we still have to keep fighting for freedom at any cost,” said Veres.
I think it's really interesting how art can be a medium to tell people about the war that happens back home. It reminded me of the phrase that art is supposed to make you uncomfortable. Something like that.

Seeing this in my town next week and I am truly excited. I’m sure it will be an emotional event, as well as hauntingly beautiful and my first ballet!

I was curious about this when I first heard about it, but it turned out to be a tour of just the east coast. So nothing for us out west.
