SUMMARY:"MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS" by Paradox Teatro
DESCRIPTION:MIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS follows a photojournalist’s journ
 ey to learn the story of refugees migrating across sand\, water\, and sh
 adows.\n\nInformed by the increasing border conflicts between the Parado
 x Teatro co-founders’ home countries\, the United States and Mexico. T
 his 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 in English and Spanish to communicate with audiences across lang
 uages and cultures.\n\nMIGRACIONES / MIGRATIONS is performed on stage by
  two multidisciplinary puppeteers\, Sofía Padilla and Davey T Steinman.
  The photojournalist protagonist\, Rubén\, is a human-size hybrid body 
 puppet made of thermoplastic\, built and performed by Padilla.\n\nRubén
 \, who is both a puppet and a puppeteer of live multimedia projections\,
  uses his camera to take photos on stage that appear as projections\, of
 fering a lens for the audience to see Rubén’s migrant subjects. The s
 pecial effects are described by Greg Cook in Wonderland as “Dazzling�
 � As she sketches with her fingers in the sandy material\, a man appears
  on the screen\, crossing a desert speckled with a few cacti\, under a b
 lazing sun. Then Padilla draws in a border wall. The feeling is as if it
 ’s being erected right before our eyes.” Rubén puppeteers elemental
  forms of sand\, water\, and shadows on the light box as mediums to exam
 ine the relationship between the materials of puppetry and the migrant e
 xperiences in deserts\, oceans\, and labyrinthine darkness.\n\nIntended 
 for Adults and Youth 10 years and older. The suitability of younger audi
 ences depends on individual maturity level handling complex topics and a
 ttention span.
