Through the stories of six individuals from Germany, Russia, and Mexico, 1905 explores human interconnections and cultural tensions and meldings in rural Nebraska just after the start of the 20th century. The theme of immigrants creating a new sense of home and intersecting with other cultures to create a new kind of community is one that resonates today, in world that seems ever-changing, ever becoming more “global” and one in which technology has shifted and continues to shift the nature of human interaction and community. The play invites innovative theatrical choices in all aspects of production, and yearns for the broadest collaborative theatrical engagement, particularly in the use of a combination of live music and silent film. The issues of technology and its role in communication and community are an entree for conversations about the role of technology in our communities today.
