Babylon: Journey to Refugees

SANDGLASS THEATER’s action-packed, high-energy production is a response to the worldwide refugee crisis and its impact on communities in the United States. Working with the USCRI Vermont (US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants), we seek to understand the challenges that face refugees and asylum seekers. Sandglass conducted research and interviews with new residents who immigrated to the US in order to gain insight into their plight and the challenges of resettlement. Babylon looks at the relationship of refugees to their homelands, lost and new, and the conflicts that exist within the countries to which they flee.


Using puppets and moving panoramic scrolls, five actor/singer/puppeteers tell refugees’ stories in original four-part choral songs.


Due to challenges from the pandemic, this performance is not able to be presented live. However, Sandglass produced a high-quality film version which will be screened in the Performing Arts Center followed by a live talk-back from ensemble members.

Please contact Anjanette Christy at anjanette.christy@stockton.edu for any questions.
