Crossing The Veil: Presenting an ensemble theater piece based on the true stories of people who have reported near death experiences. The stories follow a travel journey narrative starting with the “moment of death” when the characters have been declared clinically dead or experienced a medical crisis that brought them to the edge of death. This leads to a crossing of the veil between life and death and profound experiences and visions of life in the post-mortem realms. The journey concludes with a return to physical life and the challenges of sharing the experience with others and integrating it into their lives.
The piece is a new work conceived by Robert Cornett and directed by Ted Pugh. It has been performed by an ensemble theater group, based in the Hudson Valley, New York, to multiple audiences over the past year including at the annual conference of the International Association of Near Death Studies in Washington, DC. These remarkable and powerful stories have brought to audiences a sense of the beauty, wonder and hope about what the continuity of consciousness and life after death may be like.
Ensemble: Eddie Allen, Robert Cornett, Berenika Lehrman, Rosibel Mejia Vincent Roppolo,
