Experimental
Runs Feb 26 - Mar 29, 2026
A powerful elegy for the plight of refugees, from ancient times to the present.

Originally written to address the global refugee crisis, co-directors Melissa Lorraine and Héctor Álvarez mine Jelinek’s text for truths about a world of closed borders and violent deportations.
