Hans Werner Henze’s musical setting of a monologue from Dostoevsky’s *The Idiot* is paired with a text written for JCOM by the Hungarian author Lajos Parti Nagy. Drawing on the experiences of Holocaust survivors, a conversation unfolds about how returning home is possible when nothing is as it was before. The music composed for this evening by Judit Varga weaves the scenes together into a powerful whole.
