Puppet Showplace Theater presents the Massachusetts premiere of Paradox Teatro’s MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS, a multimedia production about the journeys of refugees told through puppetry, live music, and poetry in Spanish and English. Performances are August 12-14 at Puppet Showplace Theater in Brookline; the show is appropriate for adults and youth ages 10 and up.
As if through the lens of a camera, MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS presents the challenges migrants face as they travel across the border between Mexico and the US.
A life-sized puppet shares his “photos” projected onto a screen, layering silhouette puppets, digital images, and live drawings to create a moving visual story for the audience.
Vignettes of harrowing journeys across desert landscapes and rough waters, and the hostile interactions along the way, evoke the experiences of migrant journeys around the world.
Co-founders and artistic directors Sofia Padilla and Davey T. Steinman created MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS in response to the increasing barriers between their respective home countries of Mexico and the United States.
The artists call the show “refugee puppetry and poetry in English and Español,” and say they created it partially “in honor of all the people whose needs push them to migrate far away from their homes forever.”
MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS will be performed on August 12 and 13 at 8:00 pm, and August 14 at 2:00 pm.
