Mud Men is a play that weaves together stories, based on the real accounts of Syrian refugee children. It is performed by three actors, who are puppeteers, and is inspired by a storytelling game played in a Lebanon Refugee Camp, where children fashion and animate their own clay dolls.
Accompanied by an evocative sound-scape, in a simple, intimate setting, the actors combine puppetry and ensemble narration to convey the challenges faced by these refugee children, exploring both their vulnerability and their resilience.
