Sandglass Theater will present Paradox Teatro’s "Migraciones/Migrations" and a public Sand Painting workshop at the 2022 Puppets in the Green Mountains: Roots & Wings international festival as part of a tour to five New England venues. “Migraciones/Migrations” follows a photojournalist’s journey to learn the story of refugees migrating across sand, water, and shadows. The theme is informed by the increasing border conflicts between the Paradox Teatro co-founders’ home countries, the United States and Mexico. This performance creates a unique layering of hybrid body puppets, sand drawings, and shadow puppetry projections to reveal each character’s search for a new home. These visual mediums are scored by live music and poetry performed in English and Spanish. This show is for audiences ages 10 and up.
