Rock the Boat

As part of its “Reimagine Residencies Series,” the UMass Fine Arts Center presents the video premiere of Rock the Boat — a puppet show for young audiences that explores themes of refugees, inclusion and respectful curiosity. A poet in a boat, alone at sea, suddenly finds his home filling with new characters seeking shelter and safety. As all the newcomers and the Poet navigate life together on the vessel, they meet conflict, generosity, kindness and questions. The online event, on Sunday, Nov. 22 at 3 p.m., includes an artist Q&A.
