Oct. 29 Free Performance at Caffe Lena Evokes Refugees’ Many Lives

SARATOGA SPRINGS— “The Anatomy of Exile” will be the subject of a performance-lecture at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, at Caffe Lena, 47 Phila St.

“All stories of exile begin with an ending,” says Joshua Craze, the writer and performer who has spent over a decade in the refugee camps of Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, and elsewhere. In 2020, he conducted research in the archive of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva, while a writing fellow at the Embassy of Foreign Artists. 

Craze’s performance draws together archival materials, refugees’ voices, and poetic fragments, to create a panoramic overview of the refugee experience today.  

The program is sponsored by the Saratoga Immigration Coalition (SIC).  

The program is free and open to the public.  Doors open at 6:30 p.m. A question-and-answer period will conclude the evening. Reservations are recommended at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/anatomy-of-exile-tickets-1005223329037
