Blue Butterfly is an evocative story of survival and healing, centered on Merjem, a former Bosnian soldier who flees the war-torn landscape of her homeland in search of refuge in the United States. However, the shadow of her past follows her as she struggles with the shadow of her present to find peace in a new world.
Elisa Cornish authored the libretto and lyrics for this piece, and classical pianist Leandro Apud composed the musical score.
