A Walk with Little Amal in Ashfield (September 10)

September 10, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

AMAL WALKS ACROSS AMERICA.
ONE LITTLE GIRL. ONE BIG HOPE.

Little Amal is a 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl who has traveled across 13 countries meeting more than a million people, and watched by tens of millions more online. This fall, she will journey 6,000 miles across the United States in one of the largest free public festivals ever created.

From all corners of the globe, people have welcomed Little Amal with open arms and hearts – we’re excited to join them in welcoming her to Ashfield, MA on September 10 from 12:30 – 1:30pm. We will gather on the Ashfield Town Commons.

We’re proud to partner with such incredible organizations in our own backyard to spread a message of hope in Ashfield, MA!

Amal Walks Across America is produced by The Walk Productions in association with Handspring Puppet Company.

Event Navigation

Double Edge Theatre acknowledges and recognizes the Indigenous People – the Nipmuc and the Mohican, who have been present and lived on these lands for millennia, and whose travel and cultivation of this land we now benefit from.

We lift up the legacy of the countless peoples of African descent whose blood, bones, bodies, brilliance, and unpaid labor also built and sustained these lands.

Truth, reconciliation, rematriation, and healing will only come with acknowledgment as a first step, followed by cultural and economic reparations and other restorative actions.

Read our full acknowledgement and take action here.

On the platform of Art Justice, we build equity and solidarity with the deliberation and intentionality. This commitment includes the artists with whom we collaborate; the neighbors with whom we trade or work; our residency and training participants; and the consultants who helped to guide us. The mission / values / vision / work of Double Edge will always reflect the larger population of our region / our state / our country. Our people, our Ensemble, our collaborators identify themselves rather than being defined by others. Double Edge protects the silence of our internal space, while simultaneously ensuring that no one is silenced.
