A 12-foot puppet of a Syrian refugee nicknamed Little Amal is set to journey across the United States in the fall. The puppet's journey is meant to raise awareness about immigration.
"There is something in the act of welcoming a stranger which redefines you," says Amir Nizar Zuabi, the artistic director. "I think that’s part of what we’re trying to create when walking into places that have a beautiful, complicated, defining history."
Stops are also planned for Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, the Tennessee cities of Nashville and Memphis, New Orleans, the Texas cities of Austin, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso, as well as the California cities of Los Angeles and San Diego.
