Shakespeare's Pericles and Forced Migration, with Robin Kello

In "Pericles, Prince of Tyre," a family is separated at sea. Later, the heroine Marina is captured by pirates and sold into sex slavery. Forced migration remains a feature of twenty-first century life. In this remote talk, Robin Kello will explore migration and mobility in Shakespeare's play and show how contemporary theater directors across the globe are staging the play in order to address displacement and dispossession in our world today.
