“When it happened in March, I went into seclusion,” said Jacques Heim, director and founder of Diavolo, of the Covid-19 pandemic. “I went into a little hole and I said ‘Holy s***, what the f*** am I going to do now? It took me a month to realize and to figure out. I was talking to myself and said, ‘let me see what you are made of.’ Slowly I got out of my little emotional and mental hole to look at how can I now create.”<\/p>\n\n\n

One result of his soul-searching was the creation of a brand new work called This Is Me: Letters from the Front Lines<\/em>. Heim’s work will have its world premiere on July 31st on The Soraya website<\/a> at 7:00 PM EDT\/4:00 PM PDT. It will also be available on the Diavolo website shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Is Me<\/em> was created specifically to be filmed at the suggestion of Thor Steingraber, Executive Director of The Soraya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When Thor asked if we could do something, I said yes. We created this little film. Is this film good or not? I don’t know, but I do know it helped us physically, mentally and emotionally. It gave us new blood and new directions.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
