MIGRATIONS is a wordless play with original sound design exploring displacement and migration drawn from interviews and personal stories of the international performance collective. It is performed in the tradition of Larval Masks, which present human characters in a “state of becoming.” They have a simple way of moving through the world and represent us at our most curious and vulnerable. Their otherworldly quality plunges the audience into the unsettling experience of being in an alien land. The masks evoke the intimacy of individual experience without settling on a specific person, time or place, allowing the story to transcend nationality and culture.
