'The Innocents'

Percussionists John Lane and Allen Otte present “The Innocents,” a performance art piece advocating for social justice. Now the subject of an award-winning documentary film, “The Innocents” is a dramatic soundscape comprised of seventeen individual tableaus that endeavor to explore various aspects of the issues surrounding wrongful imprisonment and exoneration in the American criminal justice system: mistaken identity, incarceration, psychology, politics, injustice, and resilience. 

Courtesy of the Ohio Innocence Project, a post-concert discussion and Q&A will be held with exoneree Dean Gillispie, who spent two decades in prison for crimes he did not commit, retired lawyer Alec Berezin, and the musicians. 

This event is free and open to the public; however, tickets are required.
