Larval Mask Collective: Migrations

MIGRATIONS – Long Story Short & Dutch Kills Theater

This wordless play with original sound design explores journeys of displacement and migration. It is drawn from interviews with displaced people and personal stories of the international performance collective. It is performed in ‘Larval Masks’ (a folk tradition from Switzerland) which portray human characters in the “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, language, and culture.
