PACKRAT: The Quest por la Abundancia a visually crafted puppet-forward play that asks urgent questions about home, belonging, and responsibility at a time of global displacement and climate crisis. Inspired by the Comcáac, an Indigenous people of northern Mexico, the play embraces the language of dreams and the presence of ancestors to help guide us on our journey of taking care of ourselves, our planet and each other. PACKRAT: The Quest for Abundance, presented in English and Spanish, is a seamless blend of puppetry, projections and an original score, a new intercultural co-production rooted in Indigenous knowledge, ecological awareness, and cross-border artistic collaboration.
