Hundreds of thousands of Chinese gather on June 2, 1989 in Tiananmen Square around a 10-metre replica of the Statue of Liberty (C), called the Goddess of Democracy, demanding democracy despite martial law in Beijing. - Hundreds, possibly thousands, of protesters were killed by China's military on June 3 and 4, 1989, as communist leaders ordered an end to six weeks of unprecedented democracy protests in the heart of the Chinese capital. While China attempts to erase from its history any memory of the brave students who almost changed their country and the world, it will be this community, more specifically the century-old Phoenix Theatre Company, that will powerfully and beautifully project what happened then, and what the stakes are now. Theater is an escape. And “Tiananmen The Musical” will be no different. (Photo by CATHERINE HENRIETTE / AFP) (Photo credit should read CATHERINE HENRIETTE/AFP via Getty Images)
