Red Mountain Theatre presents the Human Rights New Works Festival: Touch

Touch

Sunday, September 25, 2022 at 2 p.m.

Discovery Theatre

Part of the Human Rights New Works Festival

Touch, composed by Carla Lucero with libretto by Carla Lucero & Marianna Mott Newirth and commissioned by Opera Birmingham, picks up where The Miracle Worker ends, exploring the complicated relationship between Helen Keller and her teacher, mentor, and companion, Anne Sullivan, and her star-crossed love affair with her interpreter, Peter Fagan. Touch highlights Keller’s monumental achievements as a prolific writer, an influential political activist, and an outspoken advocate for Women’s Suffrage, Disability Rights, and the Civil Rights Movement. Helen’s passion was equally present in her personal life. Touch tenderly captures the humanity of her life, characteristics often overlooked in such an iconic figure.
