Alarm Will Sound: Paper Pianos

This evening-length multimedia work theatrically explores displacement, longing and the optimism of refugees. Paper Pianos, composed by Mary Kouyoumdjian and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, combines narratives from four refugees and resettlement workers with intricate hand-drawn animations by artist Kervork Mourad that dramatically depict emotions experienced around the world.
