International WOW Company is proud to present You Belong To Me, a whirlwind journey of territorial obsession. The play delves into the last days of three wars, spanning three centuries. Moving from a southern Plantation at the end of the Civil War to the end of the Nazi Holocaust, to the so-called “end of major combat operations” in Baghdad, we follow a single multi-ethnic family through several generations. Filled with brutal laughs and tragic irony, You Belong To Me is an intensely physical and musical rollercoaster ride of love, betrayal and murder throughout the ages.

A soaring spectacle in its own right, You Belong to Me, is the fifth installment of the Death of Nations Project, an exciting and epic play cycle that has been produced internationally. It is the product of Mr. Fox’s extensive collaboration with Frank Raddatz (former dramaturg to Heiner Müller) and the Forum Freies Theater in Duesseldorf Germany, Rody Vera of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Mr. Fox directs an 11-member ensemble featuring noted German stage star Irene Christ and downtown superstar Okwui Okpokwasili (Maria Del Bosco, Roaring Girl) and International WOW Core members Harold Kennedy German, Carrie Getman, Rory Sheridan, Robert Saietta, Beau Allulli and features the virtuosic singing talents of Beth Griffith and Elizabeth Knauer.
