In one Lower East Side tenement, forty layers of wallpaper were found clinging to the walls – each piece applied by a new immigrant family. Using puppetry, masks and live action, Layer the Walls tells the incredible stories held within each layer. 

Layer the Walls, Part II: Mid-Century (1930-1970)

  • A Chinese father swims across the Hudson River to save his family 
  • A Teen Holocaust survivor finds refuge in NYC
  • Puerto Rican cousins become involved with the Young Lords' fight for healthcare justice

The performance runs approximately 70 minutes. Families are invited to a talk back with members of the cast and creative team following the performance, as well as an interactive shadow puppetry demonstration.
