SQUEEZE

Written by Trista Baldwin in Collaboration with UMO Ensemble and Associate Artists
Co-Produced with UMO Ensemble and Seattle Public Theater

Inspired by the clowning of Buster Keaton and the existential absurdism of Samuel Beckett. The ensemble and acclaimed playwright Trista Baldwin explore five clowns being shut out, in need, desperate to connect and vying for control of territory. Three simple platforms and a series of ladders connect or obstruct them all. Two stunning acrobats magically weave between personal vignettes that explore the issues of today's world.
