Description
All Is Calm relives the story of an astounding moment in history when Allied and German soldiers laid down their arms to celebrate Christmas together by trading carols, sharing food and drink, playing soccer and burying each others' dead. This dramatic re-telling contains actual quotes and letters from thirty World War I figures brought to life by actors, along with traditional music performed by Cantus.Cantus beautifully weaves a tapestry of sound, drawing from patriotic tunes, trench songs, medieval Scottish ballads and holiday carols from England, Wales, France and Germany. This remarkable true story, told through the words and music of the men who lived it, provides the opportunity to stop and reflect on overcoming fear and encouraging peace.
