War And Peace:

Songs and Monologues

Presented by Culchahworks Arts Collective

November 11, 2026
1:00PM Show
7:00PM Show

​​

What are the causes of war? Is war simply human nature? And is the goal of world peace realistic?

War And Peace: Songs And Monologues is a powerful one-person performance by Rhapsodius (Andrew Craig) that explores these questions through music, spoken word and ideas drawn from writers and thinkers across generations.

​

The performance features some of the greatest songs about war and peace from the 20th century, including music by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Bob Marley. These songs are woven together with deeply considered monologues inspired by sources ranging from the ancient writings of Sun Tzu to contemporary authors and thinkers including Gwynne Dyer, Margaret MacMillan, Pema Chödrön and the Dalai Lama.

​

Thought-provoking yet uplifting, War And Peace: Songs And Monologues aims to educate, enlighten and inspire — while inviting audiences to consider whether a peaceful world is possible, and how we might each contribute to creating one.
