Migraciones/Migrations

Migraciones/Migrations
August 15, 2024 @ 7:30 P.M.
Created & Performed by Paradox Teatro
Presented as part of the Minneapolis Puppetry Palate Festival, in partnership with Open Eye Theatre

This original work highlights Paradox Teatro’s mesmerizing blend of hybrid puppets, sand drawings, and multimedia shadow puppetry projections to reveal each character’s journey across sand, water, and darkness in search of a new home. These visual mediums are scored by original live music and sparse poetry in English and Spanish so that MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS can push the boundaries of non-verbal storytelling, and further Paradox Teatro’s mission to communicate with audiences across cultures and language barriers.

This production premiered at Open Eye Theater in 2019 with the support of a 2019 Jim Henson Foundation Production Grant. Since then, it has been presented internationally with support from el Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes and el Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes in México.

AGE RECOMMENDATION: Intended for adults and youth 12+. The suitability of younger audiences depends on individual maturity level handling complex topics and attention span.
