In 1917, American sister’s Elizabeth and Celia embark on a journey that will change their lives forever. Elizabeth is one of the first registered nurses to offer her services in France when the United States enters World War One. Celia is an artist and never shies away from adventure. Tagging along with Elizabeth, she signs up as a volunteer to aide in the Great War. A three-week voyage by boat to Rouen, France, when the sisters arrive, nothing could have prepared them for the gruesome realities of trench warfare. Together, with fellow nurses, Celia and Elizabeth struggle to save thousands of wounded soldiers passing through base hospital 21. The work is exhausting but through friendship, tears, and laughter, these unsung heroes perform extraordinary acts of courage, even when it means risking their own lives. When the war ends, Elizabeth and Celia return to New York City, only to become a Lost Generation.

A walk through the surreal and real; Tell me or Don’t merges contemporary dance and compelling dialogue to paint a bewitching story that is just as much visual splendor as it is visceral.
