About This, It Was Not Yet Written tells the story of a teenage Romanian Jewish girl’s journey across five countries. Her tales unfold in a series of vignettes and offer a glimpse into the vanished world, while the human emotions within remain deeply relatable. Myk Freedman engaged the manuscript as a way to explore intergenerational trauma. Sharing the manuscript with a close friend and music collaborator, together they transformed the raw power into a live performance that blends story-telling and readings from the book, with original music, Klezmer tunes and Yiddish folk melodies where Myk’s grandmother sought refuge. This performance is an act of discovery and healing. The music is intense and alive capturing the same tension between beauty and chaos that defines the original story.
