“Harbin, My Refuge” by Alissa Elegant

Harbin, My Refuge, is a modern narrative dance theater piece that tells a story of a city, a refuge and a family that became uprooted. It explores the parallel and intertwined stories of Eva Krongrouz and Harbin of the 1920’s and 1930’s a city full of contradictions. It is a story impacted by the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Stalin’s Great Terror, and missionaries of the Catholic church. Great world events of the twentieth century had an outsized impact on Eva Krongrouz and the city of Harbin resulting in the loss of family and the disintegration of community. These traumatic losses are explored through movement.

“At that age I became a drifter. I went to Tsingtao. If I had my family, I actually would never go. It was dangerous to fly and so on. And I thought, why not?” -Eva Krongrouz
