Conceived, directed, designed and composed by University of California Davis Granada Artists-in-Residence David Adam Moore and Vita Tzykun, REFUGE is an immersive theatrical installation ignited by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Written in direct consultation with war correspondents, folklorists, refugees, front-line soldiers, and trauma psychologists from Ukraine and beyond, REFUGE is presented as a walk-through experience comprised of seven different environments through which the audience journeys with the protagonists of the story, it explores the universal subjects of home; belonging; ties to one’s heritage, language and cultural identity; stability versus chaos; separation; grief; and hope.
