Sellars leans forward when he talks about how much the refugees’ stories affect those who hear them.
Sellars sighs and looks off into space quietly, quoting an Afghan woman who told him, “We don’t want your money, we want your freedom.”
When Herakles was performed in Paris, Sellars says, a refugee participant afraid to speak on stage had her voice projected to the audience while she stayed in a room in the basement.
Sellars says he hopes audiences will leave his show informed and hopeful, with “tears not of pity but of cleansing.”
Refugee children, mainly recruited by Sellars from the International Center at Cambridge Ringe and Latin School, portray Herakles’ exiled children. International Center Director Arnold Clayton describes Sellars’ presentation to the students as “mesmerizing.”
