Sarah (1999)
Directed by Allen Kaeja and Mark Adam
Choreographed by Karen Kaeja and Allen Kaeja
Music by Edgardo Moreno

SARAH is a six-minute film based on the unknown destiny of the woman married to Allen's father prior to WW2. After they were sent off to different concentration camps, she was not seen again. Karen and Allen often wondered how she endured the separation, and how her instinct for survival affected her appearance, her demeanour, her direction? How did she face her will to survive, her premonitions and perhaps memoirs of a war and a loss of loved ones.

"You cannot imagine how lonely I am here all by myself. I am alone without wife and family." Munniac Nossal (Allens father) November 19, 1946
Displaced Persons Camp, Germany

Quotes from the stage performance:

I was moved by SARAH... the work is kinetically haunted by undercurrents of deep sorrow and loss. eye weekly

SARAH was beautifully performed by Karen...a dance of defiance in the face of the Holocaust Dance International Magazine
