Retracing The Echoes
Lilly was a principal dancer with
Isadora Duncan in her Russian school. She grew up in the Soviet Union in the
troubled years after the Revolution. Diana grew up in London of Italian
background and is a doctor working with deprived children in many parts of the
world.
As
their paths cross in London, Russia and Spain we retrace the echoes of their
childhoods, divergent yet resonant and through their stories we explore the
emotional traumas of youth and the pains of growing up. |
|
Whatever our ages, we are all still children inside, we can all still feel
childhood pain and we can empathise with those troubled children in our society.
- Yes, we can all do that - but some of us are more detached from that
experience, more shut off from our children than others. Some of us cannot or
will not hear the childhood voice within.
These
pages are a plea to us all to listen to that child and to value the child in
each and every one of us.... This story is about some special children who lived through the Revolution and grew up as their new society was simultaneously developing and finding it's way. But in truth we are all special children and we are all still seeking a way....
