Performance

Dance artist and choreogrpher Sandrina Lindgren(Link to another website.) and performance and puppetry artist Ishmael Falke (Link to another website.)interpret the experiences of refugees with a piece called Invisible Lands(Link to another website.). Miniature dolls portraying the masses of refugees escape war and destruction over the bodies of Ishmael Falke and Sandrina Lindgren.

Invisible Lands has been touring since its premiere in 2015, making its Canadian debut at Festival de Casteliers.   According the the February 7, 2019 review in the Guardian review(Link to another website.) it  is 'masterfully done, the combination of physical effort and contrasting scale making the wordless tale devastatingly sad'.
