Meet All at Once, a Twin Cities–based collective of visionary puppeteers of color. Sofía Padilla, Oanh Vu, Andrew Young, and Erica Warren combine their diverse cultural roots and artistic practices to create bold, immersive performances through shadow, tabletop, and rod puppetry.
Developed through story circles with BIPOC South Minneapolis residents, their new show, Boundless / Sin límites, invites audiences into a fantastical world grounded in local history and lived experience. In this work, a young person sheltering in place from ICE is swept into a time-traveling journey by Coyote, a trickster deity—moving through the layered histories of the Southside while uncovering identity, migration, and connection to community.
Blending visual storytelling with memory, myth, and place, All at Once creates an immersive experience that bridges personal and collective transformation.
