The Great Cloud: Stories and Songs is an original song cycle devised by Princeton senior Alexandra Buzzini ’22 from conversations with Christian students from American and international backgrounds about their life stories and spiritual testimonies. The show explores the diversity of the Christian community at Princeton, depicts the joys and challenges of their journeys, and asks the central question of why these students have chosen to live as people of faith. What do people mean when they say they have a “relationship with God,” and how can songs communicate their understanding and experience of faith?
Part of the Program in Theater’s New Works Festival, produced by Shariffa Ali.
