GITA: God in the Army is a multi-media meditation on war and peace, the duty of service and the Nature of GOD.
In this new play by Celia McBride, a woman soldier who has experienced war trauma begins a counseling relationship with a Canadian Forces Chaplain in order to discern whether she ought to continue to serve or abandon her duty to the army. Anti- and pro-war speeches by historical icons fight for her attention throughout.
The piece is currently in the development phase. Celia performed an excerpt at Nakai’s Homegrown Festival in May 2010 to great acclaim.
See rehearsal photos by Richard Legner.
