﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿The Wallis is proud to be among the venues and 1,000+ global artists welcoming Little Amal, a towering 12-foot puppet representing a refugee Syrian child, at 100+ events in 35 towns and cities on a 6,000-mile journey from Boston to San Diego. Little Amal—whose name means "hope" in Arabic—has traveled to 13 countries, beginning her journey from the Syrian border. She carries a message of hope for displaced people everywhere, especially children who have been separated from their families, with a simple but urgent message: “Don’t forget us.” Join us for a joyous FREE outdoor celebration of this worldwide phenomenon.

Amal Walks Across America

The Kia Forum

Allen, the award-winning, highly acclaimed director, choreographer, author, dancer, and actor invited to select the pieces on the 2022 Playlist program, never had opportunity to meet Morgan in person. The original connection was initiated by Dina Bartello, the Oakland Symphony’s director of development. Bartello had held the same position at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, just one of Allen’s activities that include a position as artist-in-residence at the Kennedy Center for over 15 years and serving as executive producer, director, and actress on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.
