BABYLON: JOURNEYS of REFUGEES by Sandglass Theater
January 24-26 at 8:00pm
Tickets $15-50
El Salvador. Burundi. Syria. Afghanistan.
Vermont's acclaimed Sandglass Theater honors the stories of New England's refugees with skillful puppetry, scrolling artwork, and exquisite song. Working with the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, Sandglass artists interviewed resettled refugees in order to gain first hand insight into their plight, trauma, and the challenges of resettlement. The artists work with simple means, not much more than someone could carry with them as they flee. In BABYLON, the blending of actual testimony with unreal figures gives audiences a startlingly new perspective into how we can respond to the enormity of the global refugee crisis.
Each performance will be followed by a conversation with local refugee advocates and Boston community leaders.
BABYLON is presented in partnership with The Suffolk University Theatre Department and the Ford Hall Forum. It is made possible with generous support from the New England Foundation for the Arts.
