CONTACT is an effort to create a dialogue space in which veterans of war & civilians can engage with one another in conversation on what we have in common & what we don't.
A collaboration with Matt Mitchell's 100 Faces of War Experience , [100FacesOfWarExperience.org], Contact is performed by a mixed ensemble of veterans (portrayed in the 100 Faces project) and civilian performers.
