An original work created and directed by Atlanta playwright and performance artist Margaret Baldwin in collaboration with a KSU student ensemble. Roland's Song will use movement, song, puppetry and other media and performance techniques to tell the story of Charlemagne's favorite nephew, the "greatest warrior in the world." The medieval meets the contemporary, and the personal, the epic, as in this story of friendship, courage, chivalry and loss, we challenge our perceptions of war.
