During the hour-long performance featuring various types of dance, you are taken through a storyline of scenes describing the before, during, and after the attack. It gets “very real” with the inclusion of news-broadcast sound bites and a depiction of a child praying on the loss of her father after the disaster. “The performance is one of the most moving I have ever been apart of in my dance career. It doesn’t matter which generation you are, it is a relatable performance on all levels. It’s a show you won’t be walking out of without crying.” Says Vasile Petrutiu, Founder and Executive Director of the Central Florida Ballet.

After seeing the performance, Danny Gordon, a Governing Elder at the Northland, A Church Distributed knew more people needed to experience this touching story and knew Northland, A Church Distributed would be the perfect place to do so. “We are proud to be able to bring Central Florida such an incredible tribute to the victims of 9/11 and to the first responders, armed forces, fire fighters, and law enforcement officers who risk their lives daily to protect our country.”
