“Refuge” carves out a space to feel anew the aches and challenges of characters whose faceoffs have become the stuff of politics and policymaking. See if now through April 9 at Curious Theatre Company.

In “Refuge,” the haunting and grounded new play at Curious Theatre Company, someone we care about will die. That is not a spoiler so much as an acknowledgment that the territory on which the work unfolds can be unforgiving and hungry.“Refuge.” Co-created by Satya Jnani Chávez and Andrew Rosendorf. Transcreations by Mari Meza-Burgos, Directed by Dee Covington. Puppets by Adolfo Romero.

Now, on the first stop of its rolling world premiere, “Refuge” arrives billed as the co-creation of Rosendorf and Satya Jnani Chávez. It is a beguiling communal endeavor that embraces the woes and wounds of all the creatures it places onstage — be they wolf or dog, kangaroo rat or rattler, Rancher or Girl, those living, those dying, those dead.

Loss abounds here. In addition to this sad mother-and-child discovery, there is another discovery of a different, tragic end: Steph, a dog puppet finds a toppled saguaro. The majestic cactus was planted to mark the death of her master and the Rancher’s daughter, Sarah.
