Vermont’s Sandglass Theater uses puppetry, actors and song to share testimonies of refugees

"Babylon" evokes refugee storytelling through puppetry, actors and song.

This week's Made Here premiere recounts the journeys of refugees through puppetry, actors and song, in a filmed stage performance from Vermont’s award-winning Sandglass Theater.

Cast on stage using puppets

In "Babylon: Journeys of Refugees," theater director Eric Bass uses narrative inspired by living testimony of refugees and asylum seekers from the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Filmed by director Willow O'Feral, "Babylon" is masterfully staged with intricate puppets, movements and theatrical design.

"Babylon: Journeys of Refugees" premieres on Vermont Public's PBS station at 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 6th and available now on demand.
